Buenos Aires 1000K endurance race. The race was won by Giuseppe Farina and Umberto Maglioli in a Ferrari 375.

During the race, Dale Duncan had to put out a fire in the engine compartment of his Allard by urinating on it. His co-driver, Carroll Shelby, had left the fire extinguisher out of the car to save weight. They finished tenth.
