While the news it's Ortelli's retirement from racing, there are weird things happening on the JP Carrera team (the one where he Is racing), that as of now doesn't have any driver for next year.
Ciantini, who before last weekend, was confirmed for 2022, left immediatelly afrer Toay's race, on grounds of sloppy work on the Dodge, that affected the Pilot chances.
Ciantini bought the Dodge and the engine and left for Dimeglio's shop on a trailer directly from the racetrack.
Ortelli obviously retired.
And finally Ardusso was informed that there "Is no place for him on the team" because of "an incredible oportunity"
The oportunity of course Is the coming of Canapino, who would come with the sponsorship of YPF, the main sponsor of Chevrolet on STC2000 (Also the main sponsor of Toyota) that sponsorship isn't compatible with Ardusso (sponsored by Puma Energy, a rival company).
This could mean, not only the return of YPF as a main sponsor on a car on the series (or three, the Toyotas should be also sponsored by the brand) since Fontana's 2011 Torino, but, crucially, a first step for Chevrolet coming oficially to the TC.
Talking about sponsors, the Gury Mart?*nez team could bring/have a new branding/sponsor across all the cars of the team with, maybe, a change of colors.
