Biography
Oscar Alfredo Gálvez was born in Buenos Aires on 17 August 1913. He raced regularly in the Turismo Carretera series and, like his brother Juan, won several titles there. He often drove Ford cars. In 1960 he won the Argentine Highway Grand Prix, an annual race that in that year covered about 4,600 kilometres of Argentine roads. He took part in this event several times.
In Formula One, Gálvez started just one World Championship race, on 18 January 1953, driving a Maserati. He scored two points and was classified 15th in the drivers' standings. Gálvez died on 16 December 1989. The racing circuit in Buenos Aires was renamed after him and his brother.
