1000 km race of Buenos Aires 1958
The fifth 1000 km race of Buenos Aires , also 1000 Kilometres of Buenos Aires Sports Car Race, Autódromo Municipal y Avenida Paz , took place on January 26, 1958 at the Autódromo Municipal-Avenida Paz and was the first race of the sports car world championship this year.
The race
The 1958 World Sports Car Championship began on the same continent on which the 1957 World Sports Car Championship had ended; South america . The last race in 1957, the 1000 km race in Caracas, ended with a victory for Scuderia Ferrari and their drivers Peter Collins and Phil Hill , who also won the first races in Buenos Aires in 1958.
During training, the Maserati 300S of Stirling Moss and Jean Behra reported by Scuderia Centro Sud had an engine failure. As a result, Porsche race director Fritz Huschke von Hanstein provided the two of them with a works car with which Moss and Behra finished third in the overall standings and won a class.
The race was overshadowed by a tragic accident. On the eighth lap, the Argentine Jorge Magnasco , who was driving a Maserati 300S , had a fatal accident.
