Tribute to Juan Manuel Fangio Day 2 Transfer of Remains to the Fangio Museum and VIP Lunch at The Juan Manuel Fangio Racetrack

by Hannibal Reitano

The second day of the tribute started at the Balcarce Cemetery to transport the remains to the new mausoleum at the Fangio Museum where they will rest. Escorted by Police Motorcycles they tour the school, workshops and places he used to live followed by a caravan of cars from the museum and car clubs. Once at the Museum, a ceremony was held and Sir Jackie Stewart gave an emotional speech. 

A Lunch followed at the Fangio racetrack for special guests.
