G Racing arrives at the seventh stage of TCR South America this weekend, with the final stretch of the championship ahead and two well-defined objectives. At the Parque Autódromo Ciudad de Concordia, in the Entre Rios region of Argentina, Enzo Gianfratti and Bruno Massa take to the track eyeing important points for their battles this season.

In 9th place in the championship, Enzo will also face the challenge of getting to know the Concordia circuit, which is 4,700 meters long, has 14 turns and two long straights. After the incidents in the previous stage, the Castrol and Rodoil driver hopes to take advantage of the practice sessions to quickly find a good setup and return to fighting for the top positions.
“We arrive in Concordia very motivated for another stage of TCR South America. It will be a new track for the category and for me, so the goal is to make good use of the practice sessions to understand the circuit and find a good setup. I come from a competitive weekend in Argentina and hope to maintain this progress, aiming for a good qualifying and fighting for the top positions in both races,” says the driver.
Bruno Massa’s situation is different. Also debuting on the Argentine track, his main goal is to finish the stage among the top five in the Junior Cup, aimed at rookie drivers. At the same time, the driver wants to take the opportunity to seek his first podium in the overall classification.

“Another new track and learning experience. I want to make good use of the first sessions and then have a good qualifying to get into the inversion zone for race 2. The main focus is on the Junior Cup, but I am also aiming for a podium overall,” Massa says.
The Concordia stage will also have a novelty outside the main G Racing competition. The team’s third car will be used in a technical partnership with the Uruguay Racing Team. The experienced Juan Manuel Casella will be responsible for driving it, testing with an eye on the next season.
“We are working in partnership aiming at the next season. The Uruguayan team is testing other brands and models and our Cupra will be tested by Casella in this stage. However, he will be in the colors of the Uruguayan team,” reveals team principal Daniel Gianfratti.
