TC: Suspended for speaking – TyC Sports

The ACTC’s CAF has announced a penalty on a pilot for his statements.

The ACTC is going through difficult times and in the last hours, the entity’s Advisory and Oversight Commission has made a decision that has further fueled the controversy. The proposal aims to limit the internal expressions of pilots after the latest scandals.

Canapino and his controversial radio

It all started with the Turismo Carretera race in Termas de Río Hondo, where Agustín Canapino complained, in a radio communication with his team, about the performance of Matías Rossi’s Toyota Camry. “If I had that car, you know what? Alas, alas what they did to Toyota, they were already playing, having fun,” the four-time champion shot.

After the race, Canapino was angry that the audio of that dialogue was broadcast on television. However, the CAF called him to testify on Tuesday, May 17. “I have nothing to say. That’s what I said at the top of the car and the topic is over. I answered my engineer in a private chat, but they cut it off and it was put on the air. The audio was cut off and should not come out, “said the Arrecife resident after appearing before the supervisory body.

Following this, the CAF issued an opinion on what happened to the pilot of JP Carrera, although it did not resolve anything in a timely manner. “TC Pilot Agustín Canapino appeared before the ACTC’s CAF, stating his respective defense, in this regard the CAF decided before his statement, to request complete audio from ACTC Media TV for further analysis,” the CAF said. statement from Tuesday 17.

DeCarlo was suspended

However, after Canapino’s seven-day visit to ACTC headquarters, the CAF issued a somewhat striking determination: “According to Art. 55 Inc. 07-015, of the General Regulations of the Argentine Drivers Championship Year 2022, which prohibits making statements detrimental to the Image of Sports Motoring and in particular to the Control Body ACTC, all Drivers are notified that from this date , all internal communications with the Team, its content may be reviewed during the competition and published live by ACTC Media TV ”.

In a covert way, it is implied that key personnel should guard their expressions, as this may also be the subject of review by the category’s governing body. It should be remembered that in Termas not only did the Canapino situation happen, but also Josito Di Palma had dialectical crossroads with Esteban Gini and this earned him a CAF citation.

However, Art already had its first victim. 55 Inc 07-015. Diego De Carlo gently criticized Mariano Werner after the final of the TC Pick Up on Sunday in La Plata and after appearing at the headquarters at 166 Bogotá Street, the CAF decided to temporarily suspend him, considering that in his statements he violated the article previously mentioned.
