Santero is a professional driver competing primarily in Turismo Carretera, Argentina's premier touring car championship, where he drives a Ford Mustang for BMW. He holds an FIA Silver grading, ranking him among drivers progressing within sportscar and endurance racing rather than established professionals. His career spans 12 seasons from 2015, during which he has accumulated 157 starts across five series, winning the Turismo Carretera championship in 2024.[1]
His record is built on steady success in Argentine national touring car racing. He won the TC Mouras championship in 2015 with Chevrolet, then moved through TC Pista before establishing himself as a frontrunner in Turismo Carretera, where he has taken 10 wins and 25 podiums across 112 starts since 2017. A single win in TC Pick Up in 2024 and limited appearances in IMSA Pilot Challenge and the Brazilian Stock Car Pro Series round out his career. His 2024 Turismo Carretera title represents the peak of his Argentine racing career. In 2026, across three rounds raced so far, he has claimed one win and one podium in the championship's continuing season.[2]
Santero operates in a field of entry-level professionals and semi-professional competitors across his regular series. He is closely matched with Valentin Aguirre, a TC Pista champion and fellow Silver-graded regular who has also competed in both TC Pick Up and Turismo Carretera. His occasional ventures into stronger fields show limited reach; he finished ahead of Gabriel Casagrande, champion of the 2021 Stock Car Pro Series, once in Brazil, and Chase Briscoe, an elite professional with 225 NASCAR Cup Series starts, once in IMSA competition. His standing among his peers in Turismo Carretera, where he has spent the bulk of his career since 2017, reflects a driver who operates solidly in the upper tier of Argentina's national touring car grid.
