The Second Series began as a repetition of the previous one, with Fangio again thrown at the top, knowing that it was very important maintain the lead in a street circuit of those characte- ristics. But Bira was willing to fight, running very close. De Gra- ffenried maintained the third position and Benedicto Campos , after solving some problems that had appeared in his car in the First Series , advanced to displace Bonetto, staying with the fourth final position.

Prince Bira, who drove really hard with his Maserati, gradually approached Fangio, who as a precaution and speculating with 12 “in his favor, let him pass, only following him, so as not to compromise the final victory by sum of time.

Bira set the lap record by 1’56 “at 104.8 Km / h. Fangio, in the final laps, returned to the attack to end up surpassing him and thus increased his advantage, also winning the Second Series.

That April 3rd, 1949 a group of Argentines who had attended San Remo had a good excuse to celebrate. In the first race, Juan Manuel Fangio won and in fourth place was Benedicto Campos, members of the Argentine team Achiles Varzi. There was not much time for the “party” Fangio said. They were pilots, mechanics and drivers. As they arrived driving from Genoa, where they had gone to look for the cars, they returned loaded in the truck. Juan Manuel drove the Dodge-Guerrero and Campos the Kaiser- Frazer that they had bought the previous year in the United States. With those two vehicles, they headed to Galliate, to stay a while in the place that was going to be the seat of the team. There, during all that year, a series of successes, triumphs and sports consolidation were built, which finally placed Juan Ma- nuel Fangio in the formula one that would be born a year later.
