Sandro Martines has won the 5th round of St. André Championship in Brazil. Starting in the middle of grid and struggling with a rich setting of his engine during the first minutes of the race, the first pit stop and engine re-tune brought a change as KM H-K1 driver Sandro took the lead and won the 30 minutes final one lap ahead of Leandro Fares (Capricorn) and team mate Anderson Becheli (KM H-K1) who was leading the race until he ran out of fuel, ending his chances of winning and missing the second place by a few seconds. Paulo Cesar (KM H-K1) finished 4th.
