Oscar Rubén Larrauri (born 19 August 1954) is a racing driver from Argentina. He participated in 21 Formula One Grands Prix, all with the EuroBrun team, debuting at the 1988 Brazilian Grand Prix. He scored no championship points, only qualifying eight times.
Larrauri was for many years part of Brun Motorsport in sports car racing, and involved in the World Sportscar Championship, IMSA GT Championship, Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft, and All Japan Sports Prototype Championship during his career.
Formula One 1988 After winning the 1982 FIA European Formula 3 Championship, Larrauri was involved in Walter Brun's project to move from sportcars to Formula One in . Brun Motorsport formed an alliance with Giampaolo Pavanello's Euroracing team who had previously run the factory backed Alfa Romeo team from 1982-1985. The team became known as EuroBrun and Larrauri was signed to drive for the team alongside 1987 Formula 3000 champion Stefano Modena.
The EuroBrun ER188, powered by the Cosworth DFZ V8 engine, proved to be one of the slowest cars in its debut season. Larrauri's best finish for the year was a 13th place in Mexico (Rd.4) with his only other finish being a 16th place in Germany (Rd.8). With a lack of results coming, Brun initially considered to replace the Argentine mid-season with Christian Danner, but the German could not fit into the car and Larrauri was retained for the rest of the season.
1989 Without a drive at the start of , Larrauri only entered in the last five Grands Prix of the season, again with EuroBrun, though he failed to pre-qualify on each occasion bringing an end to his brief Formula One career. Larrauri then moved back into sports car racing.Oscar Larrauri at grandprix.com
