Camilo Echevarría’s career has been full of challenges. From the beginning he bet all in Europe, but the lack of budget, at the end brought him to the Argentinean car series.  Now, when he had everything arrange to drive the champion car of TR Junior and drive for a top team for Formula Renault, the Neuquen born driver, change his path dramatically and jump to the TC Pista, also for the Diego Aventin’s Team.

The news is very shocking. Fast as behind the wheel, Camilo didn’t hesitate to take this offer, get the license –he had more than enough background- and he will one of the young drivers pursuing the aim to jump to the legendary TC.

 

As requirement to race in the Argentinean maximum category, the drivers need to do a season in the TC Pista. Camilo has been able to skip the Mouras’ division base in his background. The TC is in his future and he decided to speed things up.

Aventin got to know him sharing the tracks in Top Race, where the driver from Neuquen was the rookie of the year in the junior division, wining two races, with several podiums and finishing third in the championship, in his debut year. The references from the well known preparer Cristian Ávila, according to whom, Camilo has a huge future. “Pumita” Aventin first tempted him by the middle of last year and he doubled his bid last December.

 

Everything was so fast that, in one trip to Buenos Aires, the driver obtained his license for TC Pista and tested his seat for the Chevrolet, driven by Matías Rodriguez last year. Matias used this car to challenge for the Silver Cup. Camilo will test the car during the first days of February, to start the championship on February, 21^st.

“Diego (Aventin) let me chose between a new Ford and the Rodriguez’ Chevrolet, which is fully developed. That’s why I choose it, because I have no experience with this type of cars”, told Camilo, very enthusiastic. Aventin, who will have the successful Walter Alifraco as developer for the car, say “I really like Camilo as driver. He is fast, a fighter, he dares in each movement. He has a long career ahead and our team expects to give him a very competitive car.

Of course, he has to pay his dues. Anyway, he will make it to the Silver Cup”.

 

- Camilo, are you changing 2 series to one?

Yes, by now. Anyway, we are still working to be in the TR junior. The priority is for TC Pista, which is expensive enough.

 

- Did you like the car?

Is nothing special, but is well constructed, as Rodriguez shown, going for the championship.

This is the most important challenge in my career, if I do well I can get to the TC quickly. Anyway, I don’t want to speed things up. I hope I can do some experience and to be among the top 10 on April 18^th in Centenario. This is the first big challenge”, Camilo concluded.
