I leave here the new track in which I was working during our summer and I just finished: The GREAT Autódromo General San Martín, located in the Worldwide known (at least for the wine lovers) province of Mendoza, in Western Argentina.
This track was created with a great support and help of many of my Mybroga friends, but especially of Pablo Sosa (which is "mendocino" and was especially interested in it.
I want to thank Gaus and especially the Great Ginetto, whose help was absolutely essential to me. I learnt a lot during the last month and Ginetto was a great teacher
Sergio Loro made the 3do of the Control Tower of the track. I eventually learned how to do simpler models, but not that complicated tower
Lastly I want to thank Pedro Passadore, which was two times champion of the Formula 1 Argentina and winner in this track, who helped me with some details of the layout and shared with me incredible racing experiences in that track!
Thanks all this GREAT GPL-er community, that is the biggest support to all of this
Long-Live GPL!!
Marcos.

========================
General Information:
========================
During the sixties and seventies the "Formula 1 Mecánica Argentina" was among the most exciting racing categories in Argentina, allowing many drivers to race highly competitive open-wheel cars, in the most avanced era of the Motor Racing in the country. Names like Nasif Estéfano in the beggings to Jorge Omar del Río in the last year of this category among the National ones, made the F1 Argentina great. The most winning drivers in the National Era were "El Turco" Nasif Estéfano (1963 and 1964), "El Loco" Rubén Luis Di Palma (1974 and 1978), and Pedro Passadore (1976 and 1977), from Uruguay, which was also the single non-Argentine champion.
The category was a sort of "Formula 5000", with large (North)American engines and, mostly, locally developed chassis that included developments of heroes like Oreste Berta, among others.
This was a golden era in the Argentinian Motor Racing which was followed by the creation of great tracks, as the published here. The Autódromo General San Martín, in Mendoza, was inaugurated in 1974 by the F1 Argentina, which also raced there once more at the end of that year, and after that in 1977. The Autódromo General San Martín was considered among the best ones in the country (Passadore, pers. comm.)
Sadly, this track is abandoned since 1997 and currently the place is (ilegally) occupied with precarious houses, which renders difficult and even dangerous to visit it.
This track intends to honour those great drivers and put our dreams in having in some moment a F1 Argentina mod for GPL
