Cris Careca wins Paulista Mod Champs

We received a report from the final race of the Paulista Modified Championships in Brazil, which saw a closely fought battle between Cris Careca and Marcos Mayer. The first 3 finals saw the win going to 3 different drivers Cris Careca, Cesar Salvadori and Felipe Franceschi. In the last final, Cris Careca and Felipe Franceschi opened up a gap from Cesar Salvadori and Marcos Mayer, and with the Championship still open, the tension among the pilots was visible. Felipe Franceschi had problems with his car and had to retire leaving Cris to hold on for the win despite having some technical problems, to also wrap up the Championship from Marcos Mayer.

Thanks to Adalberto Neri for the report.
