Pity they are not still held. I find it amazing that in the modern world there is not a serious race to even read about for two months. Don't anybody bother to mention NASCAR.

Sorry, I always thought this is common way of dates writing for all English speaking countries. Will change dates soon.
But now is question on driver entered for 1947 races but not started in any race. Was he Francisco Cullingham according to VeloceToday or Francisco Galligan according to "South American Formula Libre/Temporada Races 1946-1952" and "Un tributo al chueco..."?
As for races' names Argentine sources mainly give names like “Grand Prix of a city” and other ones based on Felix Muelas’ and so often referred Tony Kaye’s lists give “Grand Prix of Juan or Eva Peron”. Who is right?

Both seem to be correct. The 'GP of a city' seems to be comonplace,even today for the SudAm F3 series. The Buenos Aires races may have been renamed by the Argentine press for political reasons,depending on whether the Peronist party was in favour at the time!Originally posted by Kvadrat

The correct name for a race is often the subject for discussion here. IMHO you need to find programmes,posters ,photos of the podium to establish the title at the time. The name on the official FIA calendar or that used by journalists before or after the event is oftn different .

The name of the man was Francisco José Culligan y Pichetto - apparently a typical Argentinian landowner of Irish stock, and sometimes race driver. He was born on 28 September 1903, the son of Francisco Culligan y Kennedy (1876-1934) and his wife Laura Pichetto. The younger Francisco was married to Gladys Burton; he died on 18 January 1959.
In fact, even "sometimes race driver" is possibly overstating the case. In my records I have Francisco Culligan entered in only three races: the two 1947 BsAs races, plus the Rafaela International (which was postponed), but rather strangely not at Rosario! His car was the ex-de Teffé, ex Forrest Greene Maserati 6CM 1558, that appeared in the 1948 Temporada (and later) in the hands of Andres Fernandez. Finally, according to my data, Francisco did start the 9 February 1947 race, but retired for some reason!

Which one is correct?

In 1947, there were at least two support races before each Grands Prix. Full event schedule used to be as follows: practice for Grand Prix and qualifying for support races on Friday, qualifying for Grand Prix and two support races themselves on Saturday, Grand Prix on Sunday.
I still use sources mentioned above.
Original quotation (from Un tributo al chueco... Premio Ciudad de Buenos Aires, 1947) :
"Esta tercera posición lo dejó fuera de la carrera de los autos especiales que se realizó al día siguiente con la presencia de los famosos pilotos italianos Achille Varzi y Luigi Villoresi".
Automatic Google translation:
"This third position left it outside the race of the special cars that was made on the following day with the presence of famous Italian pilots Achille Varzi and Luigi Villoresi".
Original quotation (from story of 1948 Temporada) :
"Otra de las novedades fue que no se permitiría la participación de autos de fórmulas nacionales en las carreras centrales, práctica ésta que se había contemplado el año anterior".
Automatic Google translation:
"Another one of the new features was that the participation of cars of national formulas in the central races would not be allowed, practical this one that had been contemplated the previous year".
So two top finishers of race cars support race could start in main race.
Fangio took part in support race before the first 1947 Temporada race in Buenos Aires.
Original quotation (from Un tributo al chueco... Premio Ciudad de Buenos Aires, 1947) :
"Fangio se había entusiasmado con los "coches especiales", que es como se conocía en ese entonces a los que luego se llamarían los "fórmula 1", que estaban llegando al país y es célebre la pregunta efectuada a Francisco Borgonovo calificado como el más inteligente dirigente del automovilismo argentino de todos los tiempos: ¿Cuánto tengo que poner para sentarme en uno de esos coches? y es cuando acertadamente comprende que la única forma de estar cerca de estas verdaderas joyas, reservadas para los pilotos europeos, era empezar teniendo un buen auto de mecánica nacional ya que en las carreras que se organizaban, a los que finalizaban en los dos primeros lugares, se los habilitaba a participar junto a los autos importados. Es entonces cuando le pide a su hermano "Toto" que estudie la posibilidad de colocar un motor de camión Chevrolet de 3916 cc de cilindrada, que habían sido utilizados en la guerra, sobre un chasis de FordT que tenían en el taller. Fangio reconocía que era un híbrido ya que el motor era tan largo que apenas cabía en el chasis, de modo que habían agujereado el piso del habitáculo por donde asomaban los tres pedales, a los que había que presionar como un órgano de iglesia, en lugar de empujar hacia delante. En forma unánime quedó bautizado como "La Negrita" y quedó listo para debutar".
Automatic Google translation:
"Fangio had been excited with the "special cars", that are as it were known in that then ones which soon would be called "formula 1", that was arriving at the country and is famous the carried out question to Francisco Borgonovo described like the most intelligent leader of the Argentine motoring of all the times: How much I must put to seat to me in one of those cars?
and it is when acertadamente it includes/understands that the only form to be near these true jewels, reserved for the European pilots, was to begin having a good car of national mechanics since in the races which they were organized, to that finalized both in first places, qualified them to participate next to the concerned cars. It is then when brother requests him to his "Toto" which he studies the possibility of placing a motor of Chevrolet truck of 3916 cc of piston displacement, which they had been used in the war, on a chassis of FordT which they had in the factory. Fangio recognized that it was a hybrid since the motor so long era that as soon as fitted in the chassis, so that they had bored the floor of the cockpit by where they showed the three pedals, to which there was to press like a church organ, instead of pushing towards ahead.
In unanimous form it was baptized as "the Negrita" and was ready to make debut".
But I'm not sure about this story on Fangio's question about payment. Did it really happen in 1947?
Races

Original quotation (from Un tributo al chueco... Premio Ciudad de Buenos Aires, 1947) :
"Llegaron sobre la hora y no pudieron hacer las pruebas de clasificación por lo que se ubicó en la última fila de la serie. En la tercera vuelta se ubicó tercero, posición que mantuvo hasta el fin, no obstante algún problema de temperatura en el motor del auto. A continuación se realizó la final a 15 vueltas donde volvió a clasificar tercero a 32" del ganador Bucci y detrás de Edison Hortal (Quien 15 días después, en Rosario tendría un grave accidente que derivaría en la muerte del piloto).
Esta tercera posición lo dejó fuera de la carrera de los autos especiales que se realizó al día siguiente con la presencia de los famosos pilotos italianos Achille Varzi y Luigi Villoresi. Se vuelven a Balcarce a solucionar el problema de temperatura antes de la próxima en Rosario".
Automatic Google translation:
"They arrived on the hour and they could not test of classification reason why it was located in the last row of the series. In the third return it was located third, position that maintained until the aim, despite some problem of temperature in the motor of the car. Next the end to 15 returns was made where it returned to classify third a 32"of Bucci winner and behind Edison Hortal (Whom 15 days later, in Rosary a serious accident would have that would derive in the death of the pilot).
This third position left it outside the race of the special cars that was made on the following day with the presence of famous Italian pilots Achille Varzi and Luigi Villoresi. They become to Balcarce to solve the temperature problem before the next one in Rosary".
Another original quotation (from Automovilsport) :
"La primera de las carreras internacionales de aquella Temporada Argentina llevó como nombre el de Gran Premio de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires e incluyó una serie de competencias "soporte" reservadas a monopostos de la Mecánica Nacional y a autos "deportivos de baja cilindrada" según la denominación oficial del Reglamento Particular de la Prueba. En la carrera de Mecánica Nacional Fuerza Limitada el ganador fue Edison Hortal con un Plymouth y en Fuerza Libre, ganó Mario P.Chiozza con su célebre "bimotor" Mercury".
Automatic Google translation:
"First of the international races of that Argentina Season it took as it names the one of Great Prize of the City of Buenos Aires and included a series of competitions "has supported" reserved to monopostos of the National Mechanics and sport cars "of low piston displacement" according to the official denomination of the Particular Regulation of the Test. In the race of National Mechanics Limited Force the winner was Edison Hortal with a Plymouth and in Free Force, Mario P.Chiozza with its famous "twin-engine plane" Mercury won".
Are they both on the same event? First says winner was Bucci and second says about Hortal. If top three finishers were Bucci, Hortal and Fangio, did Bucci and Hortal really took part in main race?
There were some topics in TNF with mention of Fuerza Limitada and Fuerza Libre terms. But I still don't understand what they really were. I think Fuerza Libre was almost the same as European Formula Libre. Fuerza Limitada had some engine capacity limitations. But both had some local features. Which ones?
And may be there were not two support races but three ones: Fuerza Limitada, Fuerza Libre and sport cars?

Original quotation:
"En esta prueba internacional se autorizó la participación de autos de Mecánica Nacional Fuerza Libre y Juan Manuel Fangio se presentó con un Chevrolet Wayne equipado con tres radiadores de agua, con el que se clasificó sexto. Entre los autos nacionales, el segundo clasificado fue el Cadillac de Clemar Bucci, un auto de buena línea y excelente rendimiento.
En esta serie de carrera hubo que lamentar la muerte de dos grandes deportistas que cayeron durante la jornada de clasificación. El primero de los accidentes tuvo como protagonista al destacado corredor santafesino Emilio Meneghetti. El segundo y fatal accidente quebró la vida de Edison Hortal, joven valor del automovilismo de aquellos años e integrante de una familia de deportistas del automóvil. Ambos accidentes se produjeron en la misma zona, la rotonda del monumento al General Belgrano al impactar los autos contra los árboles que bordeaban el parque".

So there were so much participants and organizers decided to split them into two heats allowing start in final only for heats finishers. Fangio was 6th. Ramonda and Pereyra then could start in Grand Prix.
Do the records have data for other 1947 races or for following years?

Original caption: Juan Manuel Fangio, who already held a world's championship racing title, added a victory in the Uruguayan Tourist Commission's International Grand Prize Race, to his list of triumphs here on March 23, 1952. He crossed the finish line of the city's racing course after averaging 103 kilometers per hour over the 172 kilometer run. No record for the course has been established as yet, since this was the first major event held upon it. Gangio was followed by "Chico" Landi of Brazil.

So there were 1st heat for local formula cars, 2nd heat for local Formula Libre cars and final for best 6 drivers of the 1 heat (Gonzalez was just outside this group) and 9 ones of the 2nd. There wasn't sport cars race. These cars probably took part in Fuerza Libre race.

The first one held championships until 1979; the second only reunited enough cars to have its first crown in 1969, when the champion was certain Carlos Alberto Reutemann... Later became Formula 2 Codasur (in 1983), and in 1987 was transformed in South American Formula 3, lending the name Formula 2 to a new single-seater series. In the nineties, our struggling Formula 2 became "Formula Super Renault" and is struggling once again...

Having said that, the rules seemed fairly liberal - not only would a Chevrolet-engined GP car qualify under Fuerza Libra , but so would an Alfa with its GP engine replaced by an Alfa marine engine.

(So, there were sports cars after all!)
PD: Alessandro Silva taught me in the Spanish Forum that there were no George Raph at all, that the driver's real name was Raphael Bethenod de las Casas. He thought there were some press malconception of the guy's name, maybe because of the Hollywood actor named George Raph. But, as we can see, the official Automovil Club Argentino told us of George Raph...

your access to the ACA records is invaluable. Italian journalist Canestrini went to the Argentinean Temporada races of 1949 and in his report he wrote that he had visited the ACA Sporting Commission office and that their filing system was way superior than the one used by the Italian CSAI.
I hope that you'll continue to post them.
To clarify what I told you about "Raph" [Bethenod de las Casas] in my ridiculous Spanish, he was known as "Raph" in Europe. When he came back to France after the 1947 races, he gave an interview to French sports daily L'Equipe where he said how displeased he was that the Argentineans - his mother's fellow citizens - had called him George Raph, from actor George Raft he added. Incidentally, this interview is peculiarly uninformative for any other matter.
I still have three small questions about 1947.
i) Enrico Platé's race number for the Temporada races
ii) I have Edison and Darwin Hortal. Were they two? Edison Hortal died at Rosario, did he?
iii) What's the correct spelling: Pessati, Pessatti, Pesatti?

These were only two of several Hortals who raced in ArgentinaOriginally posted by alessandro silva
I have Edison and Darwin Hortal. Were they two? Edison Hortal died at Rosario, did he?
Don Cástulo Hortal was active between 1925 and 1942
His son Edison started off as a riding mechanic for the father, and his brief career did indeed end with his fatal accident at Rosario
There was also a Nobel Hortal (who raced in 1948), Darwin Hortal (1949) and Franklin Hortal (1961). I suspect that Edison, Nobel and Darwin were all brothers, though Franklin could be from the next generation. Either way, Don Cástulo was clearly an admirer of the great scientists
Getting back to Raph -
Was the annoyance you mention because he was being called George Raph instead of plain Raph, or because he was being called George Raph instead of Georges Raph?

Thank you for the Hortals.
I think the sense was that he did not want to be called Georges or George. Fines is right, a lot of people would call him Georges anyway.
A paragraph in the recent Wimille books reads as follows:
"There remains one footnote to the life of Raph: the fact that many motor racing histories, and indeeed many journaliistic articles during his lifetime, have assigned him the forename "Georges". Why this is, remains obscure: it may be some unintentionmal confusion with the name of the actor, George Raft. What is certain is that Raph annotated a newspaper cutting in his personal scrapbook with the following words: I do not know why, in North and South America, Georges is added as forename before Raph. When I point this out, journalists reply that they add this forename when they have no others to put! [cfr. fines] . As for Gordini he insisted until his death to call him Ralf [which is very Italian]."

* I haven't got the number of Platé. I will look for it.
* There were, as it was well remarked by David four Hortal drivers following Cástulo. And, indeed, they all were Cástulo sons.
* The same records mentioned Pessatti twice and Pessati once. AFAIK, the first is the correct spell.
To fines:
* That's all I know from the records. I get the "Memoria y Balance" of the CDA (Comisión Deportiva Automovilística, Racing Sporting Commision) which runs from March 14th, 1946, to May 31st, 1947. I am looking to get some other records.

I have a trophy from the 1966 Temporada, which was won by Charlie Crichton-Stuart for his second place behind winner Eric Offenstadt in the fourth and final round.
Indeed he was. Offenstadt drove a Lola, and Stuart ended only one tenth of a second behind. They were fighting for the second place, but with two laps to go the leader, Andrea Vianini, made a mistake, and suddenly they were deciding who would be the winner. Vianini dropped to sixth, in third came Cacho Fangio, 1s5 behind Offenstadt.
The race was held in the Mar del Plata Golf circuit. With his win in Mendoza and second places at Buenos Aires and Mar del Plata, Stuart got 21 points, two more than Christopher Irwin, and five in excess of Offenstadt and Nasif Estéfano. The points scale: 9-6-5-4-3-2 for the first six.

If Pablo's information on the second Buenos Aires event is really complete, local drivers did not start in this GP at all. In 1948 Mecanica Nacional car were banned from participation in main races. I guess that already after first 1947 race Grand Prix drivers asked organizers to change this rule to prevent problems with slow local cars.
BUT in Rosario race 5 or even 6 Mecanica Nacional drievers started in GP: Fangio, Bucci, Nanni, Sessarego, Campos, Llanos. Who was Llanos and which car he drove? He didn't race in any of support races.

After that, he was retire and he began to advise and organised races and events.., and push very hard and very strong for the build of the Autodrome of Bahìa Blanca, one of the most speedy tracks of Argentina... even in the present day she has been "deformated" with ugly schikanes..
Because that, one of the corners of this circuit was named "Enrique Benamo Senior".

13 - 8 - 5 - 3 - 2 - 1 - 0.8 - 0.6 - 0.4 - 0.2 - 0.1 to the first eleven finishers is certainly one of the oddest systems I've seen. I'd love to know the rationale behind adopting this system (could it be based on the mathematical sequence of Fibonacci numbers, perhaps?).
