Mauricio Jorge Lambiris (born on 3 March 1987) is a motor racing competitor from Uruguay who currently participates in the Turismo Carretera series.
Biography
Originally from Montevideo, Lambiris relocated to Buenos Aires when he was six years old. His introduction to motorsports came through his father Jorge, an amateur racer, and he began karting at seven alongside his childhood companion Guido Falaschi. He advanced to Fórmula 1000 Argentina in 2003 and then moved up to Fórmula Renault Argentina in 2004. Facing difficulties, he returned to karting in 2007. In 2010, he resumed car racing within Turismo Libre Uruguayo, aided by his aunt’s role in the series’ television production. After sustaining a leg injury midway through the season, he made a comeback in late 2011 competing in TC Rioplatense and progressed to TC Mouras in 2012.
In his first season within the Turismo Carretera development ladder, Lambiris finished eighth—the highest position achieved without a victory. Following two seasons in TC Pista, where he secured third place overall with two wins in 2014, he made his debut in Turismo Carretera’s premier division in 2015 driving a Torino. He qualified for the Copa de Oro playoffs during his initial two seasons but ended up last among the playoff participants. Midway through 2017, he transitioned to Ford, earning his inaugural victory at the 2018 Carrera del Millón held at Rafaela. This achievement made him the second driver from outside Argentina to win, following fellow Uruguayan Héctor Suppici Sedes. Throughout his Turismo Carretera tenure, Lambiris has consistently reached the playoffs and finished as runner-up to Mariano Werner in 2021.
