In January 1979, Carlos Reutemann was beginning his tenure with Team Lotus at his home Grand Prix on the circuit in Buenos Aires. The Lotus in Argentina even sported a local sponsor (which was not an insignificant deal), but was powerless against the new Ligier of Jacques Laffite, who won comfortably. Reutemann had to be content with second, to the delight of the home fans.
