Hello, I’m new in this forum, and like many people here, I love cars, sorry about my English isn’t good, but I can speak
… I took many pictures of 1000 Miles Brasil 2006 Interlagos, a very traditional race in São Paulo (my city) and I will show that. It has 4 categories in the 1000 Miles, GTP1, GT2, STC and P2(Brazilian prototypes under 2001cc aspirated or supercharged, or under 3001cc aspirated)
This race commemorated 50 years of 1000 Miles Brazil.
It was a very competitive race, the pole position Pablo Robert Bonifácio, of prototype ZF, held the tip, followed for the Corvette while the Mercedes lost the third rank to the being surpassed for the Aston Martin of Christophe Bouchut.
In the lap 54, the prototype ZF started to present problems and the Corvette assumed the tip. After 1h30 of race, the prototype ZF, with engine oil emptying, abandoned the 1000 Miles Brazil. With this, the Corvette and the Aston Martin had started to dispute the first position. Between the fourth and fifth hour of race, the Corvette, with Clement Lunardi, spinned and allowed that, the Aston opened good advantage in the tip.
After six hours, the Aston Martin opened advantage still more, therefore the Corvette, with problems in the handle of the accelerator, lost some positions. It started to drizzle in the region of the race track eight hours of race and some cars had started to change the tires for the ones of rain. However, after nine hours of race, the track dried and the cars had come back to turn fast.
In 2007, the race will be a part of FIA GT calendar.
