“It’s a huge emotion to return to TC2000. In 1985 I had the chance to witness the change from the Renault 18 to the Renault Fuego and the Ford Taunus to the Ford Sierra and it produced a great phenomenon in the category. Now, after 40 years, I have the chance to experience again this radical change in car models with the arrival of the SUVs and it’s an honour to be part of it,” said Tito while talking to Clarin.
He will be part of the El Halcón Motorsport and had tested the Next Gen Nivus of the TC2000.
“I’m going to do it with great commitment, I’m going to give everything I have to be at the best level on a track that I really like like Oberá. I want to thank the category for making this project possible and the sponsors for trusting me,” added ‘Tito’ ahead of the debut of the new 500-horsepower SUVs designed especially for the category with models from brands such as Chevrolet, Honda, Toyota, Fiat, Nissan and the aforementioned Volkswagen.
Bessone’s last race in the TC2000 was on August 21, 2011 , as a guest of Leandro Carducci in the 8th Edition of the 200 km of Buenos Aires. This time, he will be the protagonist, the 1996 champion with a Ford Escort, host of 263 races (among which he achieved 28 victories, 25 pole positions and 31 lap records) and who has just restored the historic Renault Fuego Coupé that he made win for the first time in 1985, the same year in which he won on his debut day in the TC (on December 22 in Buenos Aires).
