Second place went to Martín Basso and Brazil's Hoover Orsi (Ford YPF), and third to Fabián Flaqué and Ernesto Bessone (RV Competición).
The other contenders, Gabriel Ponce de León (Ford-YPF) and Juan Manuel Silva (Honda Petrobras Lubrax) faced a series of problems and did not add to their championship tally.
After the mentioned driver changes, Spataro took the lead and tried to edge away from his rivals prior to his pit stop, but his efforts were not enough and co-driver Cacá Bueno went back to the track in 3rd behind Menu and Orsi.
Behind these came the driver pairings of Leandro Carducci/Henry Martin and Rubén Salerno/Roberto Urretavizcaya, aboard VW Boras of the privateer Sportteam outfit, completing a great job by team directed by Sergio Polze, with three cars in the first seven places.
