La Plata Procar 4000 Near-Miss Ends With Rossi Excluded, Safety Under Review

Stewards’ decision to bar Gastón Rossi from the final classification sharpens scrutiny of marshal and media positioning.

Overview

  • Race stewards reviewed the closing maneuvers and excluded Rossi from the final classification for the incident that sent Granja off.
  • Moments after the finish, Luis Maggini Jr. struck the rear of Rossi’s Chevrolet, causing severe damage that the driver said poses a financial setback for his team.
  • Emmanuel “Tiki” Pérez Bravo was confirmed as the GP Apertura winner, with the Granja/Maggini pairing second and Alejandro Gobetto third after the officials’ ruling.
