Mariano Werner (born on December 30, 1988) is a professional Argentine race car driver actively participating in the Turismo Carretera (TC), Turismo Nacional (TN), and TC Pick Up competitions.

He has earned seven national titles across various categories: Formula Renault Argentina (2006, 2007), Turismo Nacional Clase 3 (2017), Turismo Carretera (2020, 2021, 2023), and TC Pick Up (2023).

Career

Werner launched his professional racing journey in 2005 within Formula Renault Argentina, where he secured championship victories in both 2006 and 2007 representing Werner Competición. Additionally, in 2006, he took part in a round of the Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup with Jenzer Motorsport.

After achieving third place in TC Pista during 2007, he progressed to compete in Turismo Carretera from 2008 and made his debut in TC 2000 with Toyota Team Argentina. By 2009, Werner had recorded his initial wins in both series.

In the 2010 season, while driving for Omar Martínez's team, Werner led the TC standings but ultimately missed out on the championship due to not securing a final race victory; the title was claimed by Agustín Canapino. That year, he also finished third overall in the TC 2000 championship. In 2011, Werner was the runner-up in TC 2000, trailing Matías Rossi. He also finished second in the TC championship in both 2013 and 2016.

Following a disputed event involving Matías Rossi during the last TC race of 2016, Werner faced suspension midway through the 2017 season along with a monetary penalty. Despite this challenge, he secured third place in the Súper TC 2000 championship and captured the Turismo Nacional Clase 3 crown driving FP Racing's Fiat Linea that same year. His strong form continued with third-place finishes in TN Clase 3 (2018) and TC (2019).

Werner clinched the Turismo Carretera title in 2020 by winning three races and maintaining a 20-point advantage during the playoffs. Concurrently, he competed in TC Pick Up piloting a Toyota Hilux. He successfully defended his TC championship in 2021 despite accumulating fewer playoff points than Mauricio Lambiris, who was ineligible for the title due to not having a race victory.

After finishing second to José Manuel Urcera in 2022, Werner earned his third Turismo Carretera championship and repeated as TC Pick Up champion in 2023.
