Roberto Mouras

Argentinian racing driver (1948-1992)

Roberto José Mouras (February 16, 1948 – November 22, 1992) was an Argentine racing driver. He won the 1983, 1984 and 1985 Turismo Carretera championships. Also, he won 50 races in this series between his debut in 1970 and his fatal accident in 1992.

Mouras started his racing career in the 60s. He made his debut in Turismo Carretera in 1970, driving a Torino. Mouras switched to Chevrolet in 1975 and made his first victory in 1976, at Bahía Blanca. He won the next five races, achieving a total of six consecutive wins that remain a record to this day. But despite this, Mouras lost the championship to Héctor Gradassi. In 1980, Mouras would change his allegiance again, going from Chevrolet to Dodge. With Dodge, Mouras achieved his greatest successes, as he won all three championships in 1983, 1984 and 1985, in addition to a small tournament disputed in late 1981.
