So the official name is Petrobras (Brazilian) Manufacturers Cup. Only three makes - Ford, Chevrolet and Honda. I'd expected two more.
Each round will have two 25min races. Don't like that very much, I prefer a few sprint races and a feature race. Anyway, good luck to them! |

2011 Brazilian Manufacturers Championship
Are the confirmed teams/drivers Brazilian top level teams/drivers?
Will be interesting to see if this series becomes a success. Last edited by FIRE; 17 Mar 2011 at 21:14. |

Today was confirmed that both Átila Abreu and Thiago Marques will drive in the Chevrolet works team. So, by now:

After missing the release of the championship, finally today Toyota was confirmed. Bassani Racing will be the works team (and by now the only using this car) with four cars.
So, that means:

Championship debut delayed due to problems (probably delay) in the delivery of the engines. May 29 date is mantained but for the first testing. Round 1 will be at Tarumã in June 19.

More news appearing about the championship. Yesterday MetalMoro's Juliano Moro did the first shakedown of the Honda Civic at the Velopark. This week Galid Osman tested a TC2000 Honda Civic in preparation for the championship debut. Also confirmed that Thiago Marques and Átila Abreu will not race anymore for the Chevrolet works team, but for AMG (privateer), while Toyota seems to be a no-go for 2011 (by now) and Full Time will be the Honda works team. By now, we have:
And the first photos of the Honda Civic: |

The huge numbers in the windshield are ridiculous. I prefer Nascar's numbers on "doors". But it's cool that several manufacturers race together with pedestrian cars.

First news about Pamplona Motorsport, another team in the series: the team will race Ford cars (not sure if will be the works team) and has two confirmed drivers, both sharing the same car (it's possible - each driver will do one race per round): Fábio Fogaça and Andersom Toso. The official presentation and preseason testing will be at Curitiba this weekend. By now:
