The annual Temporada (racing season), held in the 1940s and 1950s,
were a time of transition in Argentine motorsport, progressing from
racing circuits on rough tracks to more refined venues in
Argentina's public parks. After WWII, the Temporadas were organised
in the Torreon in Mar del Plata, Parque Independencia in Rosario,
Palermo, Constanera and Retiro in Buenos Aires, and Sarmiento in
Cordoba. Thanks to these races, Argentina began to be seen as a
suitable destination for a Formula 1 Grands Prix, and for the World
Sports Car Championship, the Buenos Aires 1000km. The circuits
hosted the likes of Villoresi, Varzi, Farina, Wimille, Ascari, Moss
and Prince Bira, and arguably taught Juan Manuel Fangio how to
drive race cars.Wonderfully illustrated with 220 contemporary
photographs, including many that have never been published before:
images that will take you back in time, to the unique atmosphere of
top motorsport in South America from 1950 to 1960.
