When you mention stock car racing here in the US, most people think of NASCAR. This is a type of racing that is based primarily on oval-style racing with domestic manufactures such as Chevy, Dodge and Ford; and famed racing venues such as Daytona and Indianapolis are also most likely also mentioned by both casual and hardcore fans alike.
However, on April 22, 1979 in Tarumã in Rio Grande do Sul, another type of stock car series was born in Brazil. The series today is called Campeonato Brasileiro de Stock Car, or for those of us Portuguees challenged, Stock Car Brazil. During its inception, the series included General Motors brand cars, which were the Chevy Opala and the Ford Maverick. Local racing fans immediately gravitated towards the series because of the American series emulated stock car name. This series was quickly held in high regard because of the performance of the cars and their sophistication. It has since grown to be the primary motorsports series in the country.
Currently backed by two manufacturers, Chevrolet and Peugeot, the series uses V8-powered race cars that reach top speeds of up to 270 kph. All the league race battles take place in 10 distinct and beautiful Brazilian tracks. |
