The car that Alejandro Garofalo built for Mauro Giallombardo, which his own father said will be used, has a pilot and it is Juan Bautista De Benedictis.
After the accident suffered by Mauro Giallombardo in August in Bariloche, a brand new Turismo Carretera Falcon built by Alejandro Garófalo for him was revealed. However, it remained without a pilot and some names started to be considered.
At first, Matías Rossi was mentioned but he finally decided to continue with Nova Racing. Then, the name of Mariano Werner was suggested, but the entrerriano confirmed that he will continue under the care of his team in 2018.
Although everything remained uncertain, the website Carburando.com reported that Juan Bautista De Benedictis has a great chance of being the driver of Mauro Giallombardo's car. In fact, the driver from Necochea has already tested the seat of the vehicle.
After finding the driver, it is still necessary to define the person in charge of the Falcon, as the budgeting has already been dealt with. However, there is another very important factor for "Johnnito", which is for the ACTC to approve him to race in Turismo Carretera, considering that he has not participated in a race as a regular driver for over a year.
