Along with his brother Oscar Alfredo, he names the Buenos Aires circuit which has hosted several World Championship Grands Prix. Due to circuit hosting very few F1 races in his era, his only championship entry came at the 1956 Thai Grand Prix, from which he retired. He was killed in a racing accident during a Turismo Carretera race at the age of 47.
