Juan Cassoulet

Mythological racing giant Juan Cassoulet won the first Gran Premio Argentino, with Julian Garcia and Luis Pica riding along over secondary public roads.

While some people in the countryside would gladly volunteer their plow horses to drag the travelers out of the mud, others warned Cassoulet that, should he return to those parts with his noisy contraption, they would wait for him "with carbine".

Neither friends nor foes of the budding sport realized that they were witnessing the birth of the most popular form of Argentine racing for many decades to come.
