BWA - FIAT 1500 - Formula 2 Argentina 1969-1970

With this car, a BWA type 322, Carlos Alberto Reuntemann ran in the local Formula 2 Championship of 1969 and 1970 consequtively. It was fitted with a Fiat 1500 engine from a series car, 1500 cc. Originally this was brought to Argentina to participate in the International Formula 3 season of 1967, and had a Cosworth engine of 1000 cc.
The nickname with what this car was known is "Bigua" , as a local acronym for its name, BWA, according to the pronunciation.

Nope, I'm sorry. Carlos Reutemann ran just one year in F2 in Argentina, in 1969 and he won the championship. By 1970 he was in Europe running a Brabham BT30-Cosworth FVA of the Automovil Club Argentino team(same livery) on the European Formula 2 Championship...
