This is the biggest national competition in Brazilian motorsports. Total of 40 cars. The body of the cars is either of an GM Astra or of a Lancer Evo (just the fiber body, since the cars have tubular structure). The engine is an american V8 with 450hp. Drivers: Christian Fittipaldi (ex-F1, ex-Indy), Luciano Burti (ex-F1), Raul Boesel (ex-F1, ex-Indy) and other icons.
