When Hilaire and LauraDamiron came from Mexico to visit the Fangio Museum in Balcarce, they received nothing short of the royalty treatment. Is it because of their deep connections to motor racing? Or the inexhaustible gift from Argentineans to welcome their visitors? Or a combination thereof? Who knows. Let it be noted, though, that no effort was spared to show these dignitaries what a good time can look like.
The basic ingredients sure look simple enough to gather – you, after all, only needed a D24 that had been driven by El Maestro himself, an improvised track around El Casco, his former residence (make that a palace), a legendary photographer (thanks to Juan-Martin Burgues to whom we owe the glorious gallery that’s coming hereunder) and – for good measure – a 300S, our very own Mauricio (rocking his Barcelonajacket) who also brought along a Rivadavia and a Fox helmets from our collection. Enough now?
Oh, and before we forget, you might want to sprinkle an additional pinch of Suixtilmagic, for good measure – let’s see if you’ll find it – at life speed!
All part of life’s rich pagent – in Balcarce
