Juan Manuel Fangio Car Racing Museum, Belcarce, Argentina ★★★★★
www.welcomeargentina.com/balcarce/fangio-car-racing-museum.html
This is a fantastic museum of racing cars and memorabilia housed in the home town of the five time World Champion. It’s a wonderful collection of cars ranging from the type of hot-rod American cars Fangio raced in Argentina in the 30’s and 40’s right up to his Grand Prix cars from Ferrari, Maserati and Mercedes-Benz which took him to five titles in seven years from 1951-57. If you are ever in Argentina try to get to Balcarce, a rural city 400 kms south of Buenos Aires, so that you can see this collection. Outstanding museum and a true Mecca for afficianados of Grand Prix racing.
We visited the Fangio Museum in 2009, but in 2020 I’ve gone back and reworked all of our photos to take advantage of better software to improve the pictures.
