Filipe,

Um grande abraço e bem-vindo Ã* Ten Tenths! (Cheers and welcome to Ten Tenths!)

Just a little clarification: the cars are not true Astras - as last year's were not true Vectras. Brazilian Stock Cars became a "silhouette" series several years ago.

Regards,

Muzza

Not necessary because the steer on the left

Are this factory supported cars? Is there a official website?

Isn't it a step backwards to race Astras instead of the newly release Chevrolet Vectra? The Astra will be replaced soon? Or will it continue to be built in Brazil for several more years?

Here, in brazil, the Chevrolet still built the old vectras and astras, just with face lift to new versions. And i think that they plans to continue to built this models until 2005.

How important is the budget to run a team of to car in the main series ?

It seems to be popular, as the tribunes are full of viewers

The Stock is very popular here.

To race a champion team in Stock Car (main) you will need of R$1.000.000,00 (U$300.000) each car.
