El Flaco, who died at the age of 73, left an indelible moment when, after a serious accident he suffered in the TC thanks to a touch from Ponce de León, he unleashed a series of TV insults that transcend the boundaries of motorsports.
Juan María Traverso, the Argentine sports legend who died this Saturday at the age of 73, left an indelible legacy in racing cars, but also a trait that made him break the barriers of motorsports and become a popular character for his public insults. Or without too many turns, his unforgettable whores. One, in particular, that marked him forever. It’s viral before it goes viral.
Río Cuarto, May 23, 2004. Almost 20 years ago it poured like never before on the Cordoban circuit for date 6 of the Road Tourism championship. The traffic light didn’t turn green to start the second series (in single file, due to poor visibility), with Flaco’s violet and black Torino ahead, when Gabriel Ponce de León grabbed him with his Ford and slammed him hard into the wall of the pitwhich produced the biggest waterfall of insults Argentina has ever seen on TV via Channel 13 and TyC Sports.
Traverso got out unharmed and looked at the damage to the car without immediately speaking to the press. When journalist Andrés Perco, from Carburando, arrived, he thought he had talked to all his colleagues on the radio without knowing what he was going to get. one of the testimonies marked forever. It is worth, in addition to seeing it, to copy it word for word.
– Flaco, how are you after the blow? – asked Perco-.
– good –JMT’s simple answer.
– You realize, someone was seen touching the cameras inside the car.
– As?
– No, it was seen with a touch at the entrance to the straight, does that not make your car uncomfortable?
– Before leaving, that stupid son of a dog threw me.
– Are you fine, physically? Because the blow was severe.
– I’m ready to destroy it, you brat and your pussy.
– Will you report him? Will you talk to the authorities?
– ¡I’m going to mess it up!
– Well, but will you report him too?
– No, what do I care…
– Did you know that this could happen? Is it predictable?
– With a jerk like this, yes, obviously.
– What are you going to do now Juan?
– I’m going to screw it up.
No, Traverso didn’t make a mistake, but The skirmish continues outside the slopes… with Ponce de León’s mother! Just like he said during his time in Libero versusa few days before the race, the lady sent him a document letter and the man called her from Ramallo to explain it had nothing against him, but was “the average bitch”. With your stamp.
