The support of the CBA through President Giovanni Guerra and Vinicius Prado from MAX Arena, has been pivotal for the materialization of this event”, she highlighted.

Each motorsport confederation in South America will be able to choose its criteria to determine the finalists, of which there will be 11 in São Paulo, in person, to define the champion.
