BRB and Flamengo participate in the first car race held at an airport in Brazil
By Flamengo and BRB - in
BRB, the official Stock Car racing venue, will be present at the first commercial auto race held at a Brazilian airport. On Saturday and Sunday, Tom Jobim International Airport (RIOGaleão) will host the third round of the Stock Car Pro Series. The event also marks the 70th anniversary of RIOGaleão, which opened in February 1952.
BRB, which also sponsors two Brasilia-based drivers in the category, Lucas Foresti and Pedro Cardoso, will compete with a special car. Cardoso, the youngest driver on the grid, will compete in the race in a red and black car, representing the digital bank Nação BRB FLA, a partnership between BRB and the team with the largest fan base in Brazil, Flamengo.
"BRB believes in the transformative power of sport. That's why it supports and sponsors a variety of sports. Participating in motorsports, which is in Brazilians' DNA, and being able to participate in a special and unprecedented race is a source of pride for all of us," says BRB president Paulo Henrique Costa.
The Stock Car Pro Series will also feature the participation of motorsports fans with the Fan Push, where the public can help boost competitors' cars. The idea behind the vote is to award five drivers with an additional push, a button used to inject power into the engine and increase the car's speed during the race. Each person can vote for up to three drivers.
Voting open to sports fans is available on the Stock Car website. Just go to https://www.stockproseries.com.br/fan-push to choose the pilots who should receive the additional benefit.
