Notes:
A talented driver and an accomplished mechanic from Rufino, province of Santa Fe, Argentina, Ángel Meunier prepared stock cars for himself and other competitors. Nicknamed by friends as "el Ángel Volador" or "el Cholo", he was the two-year-younger cousin of the Argentine Turismo Carretera legend Marcos Ciani.

In 1960 Meunier sustained a huge accident during the Gran Premio Argentino, when he crashed into a lorry, suffering multiple fractures and injuries which required a long and painful convalescence until a complete recovery. Meunier was the first in history to set an average speed of more than 200 km/h (124.3 mi/h) in a Turismo Carretera stage. It happened on 29 April 1962 during the III Vuelta de Nocochea, when he averaged 200.295 km/h (124.48 mi/h) in the stage from Juárez to Necochea.

His usual acompañante since many years was Umberto Lorenzetti, also from Rufino, province of Santa Fe. His place of birth is not confirmed as well as his name which different sources reported to be Humberto for Umberto and Lorenzatti instead of Lorenzetti.

Meunier and his co-driver Lorenzetti lost their lives on Saturday, 16 January 1965, in an accident which happened on the Ruta Provincial 6, during the Turismo Carretera race "Premio Montañas y Llanuras" - Villa Carlos Paz - San Francisco - Villa Carlos Paz. The event, which was part of the Segunda Edición de la Semana de Velocidad de la Provincia de Córdoba ("Second edition of the Province of Córdoba Speed Week"), consisted of two stages, from Villa Carlos Paz to San Francisco on Saturday, 16 January, and back to Villa Carlos Paz on Sunday, 17 January 1965, in the province of Córdoba, Argentina.

While traveling in the top ten positions, during the first stage of the event, the Dodge Valiant #9 driven by Meunier suddenly went out of control at high speed when going down a paved straightaway linking Tancacha and General Fotheringham, province of Córdoba, Argentina. The car drove sideways for some two hundred meters, gradually leaving the road. The Dodge then went down a small embankment on the left side of the asphalt, ran close to the ditch along it and crashed sidewise against the wall of the culvert of a rural road that crossed the Ruta Provincial 6, less than three kilometers from the small town of General Fotheringham.

The impact on the co-driver's door was unsurvivable for both the occupants of the car, which was completely destroyed. Meunier, who was crushed by the steering wheel and Lorenzetti, who received serious head injuries, were killed almost instantly. Reportedly, the accident was caused by a failure in the Dodge's differential.

Owing to the fatal accident of Meunier and Lorenzetti, Meunier's cousin Ciani and several other competitors including Norberto Polinori, decided to abandon immediately the event. Also Carlos Pairetti who was leading the race in a Chevrolet announced that he wanted to stop, but was convinced to continue his run by Meunier's wife and by Ciani himself. Pairetti eventually was the winner of the race, averaging 145.200 km/h (90.2 mi/h). Second finished Oscar Erit Cordonnier from Ayacucho, also driving a Chevrolet car, and third was Antonio Bertolotto in a Ford.

This was the second edition of the Villa Carlos Paz - San Francisco - Villa Carlos Paz race. Another fatality marred the first edition held in 1964, when one spectator was killed by Carmelo Galbato's Ford which went off the road near San Francisco. The course and the length of the 1965 stages from Villa Carlos Paz to San Francisco and back weren't the same of the previous year, passing through different routes and crossing the Córdoba Sierras by the northern town of La Falda, instead of La Calera.

Ángel Rosel Meunier was 39 years old. He lived in Rufino, Santa Fe, working as a Chrysler Argentina agent. He left behind his wife, his 17-year-old son and his daughter, 16. Burial is in the Cementerio de Rufino, Santa Fe, Argentina.

Meunier and Lorenzetti are remembered by a monument erected near the place of the accident, along the Ruta Provincial 6, between the small towns of Tancacha and General Fotheringham, province of Córdoba, Argentina. The monument has been kept in mint condition by Mr. Amilkar Frizzo, from Hernando, Córdoba, the owner of a nearby kiosk who was not a motorsport fan but was involved by the story of the two competitors. In 2005 the families of Meunier and Lorenzetti, led by Miguel Ángel Meunier, son of the unfortunate driver, moved to General Fotheringham to meet Mr. Frizzo for the first time. The monument has been further developed by Frizzo, including a placard with Meunier's and Lorenzetti's racing palmarès. An Argentinean flag was painted on the culvert into which the Dodge crashed, where a marble plaque reads:
