Thirty seven year-old former international tennis star, David Nalbandian, has finally achieved an ambition in his newly selected sport, rallying.
After 53 attempts, he has won a round of the Argentinian national rally championship.
This was the Catamarca Rally, the “Poncho Rally”, sixth round of the series.
Tributes came from rival Marcus Ligato whose company Tango prepares Nalbandian’s Chevrolet Agile MR.
Ligato tweeted: “You continue to fulfill all the objectives you set for yourself. Since you started in the rally I knew that we were joined by a rival that was going to bring us many headaches😂”.
Ligato still leads the series with an Agile car also lying second in hands of fellow Agile driver Migual Baldoni, with four events to run.
