5/5 Cameron B. 10 years ago on Google
I'm
a
big
Formula
One
fan,
and
I
remembered
that
once
when
I
was
reading
Juan
Manual
Fangio's
article
on
Wikipedia,
it
mentioned
that
there
was
a
museum
dedicated
to
him
in
Argentina.
Years
later,
I
had
the
chance
to
visit
Argentina.
I
was
a
little
dismayed
at
how
far
away
from
Buenos
Aires
this
museum
was.
It
was
a
lot
of
work
to
rent
a
car
and
drive
out
5
hours
to
Balcarce,
and
I
was
bracing
for
a
bit
of
disappointment
with
this
museum.
It
was
fantastic!
There
are
so
many
incredible
cars
in
here:
Old
Ford
Model
As
from
Fangio's
early
days,
an
1886
Benz,
Prost's
1981
Turbo,
one
of
Senna's
McLarens,
beautiful
Lancia
and
Maserati
sports
cars
from
the
1950s,
and
Fangio's
F1
championship
cars
from
'54,
'55,
'56,
and
'57
(unfortunately
the
'51
Alfa
Romeo
159
is
missing).
The
museum
signage
is
mostly
in
Spanish,
but
there
is
an
English
audio
guide.
This
is
worth
the
money.
The
translation
from
Spanish
is
very...
direct,
which
produces
a
few
funny
moments,
but
also
gives
you
a
good
insight
into
the
meaning
of
the
original
Spanish
commentary.
The
audio
guide
has
about
50
stops,
which
is
a
good
amount
and
covers
the
entire
museum
in
a
couple
of
hours.
If
you're
a
Formula
One
fan,
this
museum
should
be
on
your
global
checklist.
