The Stock Car Pro Series, formerly known as Stock Car Brasil, is a motor racing discipline in Brazil created in 1979. It started as a single brand, with the support of Chevrolet. Over the years, other brands entered and left the category such as Mitsubishi, Volkswagen, and Peugeot. In 2017, Chevrolet continued as sponsor. With 30 cars on the grid, the championship is disputed in 12 rounds, 10 of them being double rounds, the Corrida do Milhão, and the grand final with double points, running through six Brazilian states and the capital the Federal District, plus the international round in Argentina. Stock Light is currently the base category, replacing the Campeonato Brasileiro de Turismo.
History[]
1970s[]
It was created in 1977 to be an alternative to the extinct Divisão 1 (D1), which ran with Chevrolet (Opala) and Ford (Maverick). This occurred due to the lack of interest from the public and sponsors for becoming a mono-brand category, given the superiority of Chevrolet models. To prevent this from happening, General Motors created a new category, which united performance and sophistication. The name was a masterstroke, because besides emulating the name of the famous American category, NASCAR, it diverted the attention from the single brand.
The first race took place on April 22, 1979, in Autódromo Internacional de Tarumã, in Rio Grande do Sul. The creation of the category was the best answer to a long-standing desire of a community passionate about racing cars, that is, a touring category that united performance and sophistication.
The regulation was created to limit costs, seeking balance, without compromising the performances worthy of international competitions. The first edition was attended by 19 cars, all Opala models with 4,100 cm3 six-cylinder engines. The pole position for the debut was taken by José Carlos Palhares, "Capeta", from Rio de Janeiro, with a time of 1min 23sec. The race was won by Affonso Giaffone.
1980s[]
At the time, the driver was returning to Brazilian motor racing after a stint in Formula 1, where he defended the Copersucar-Fittipaldi team. Ingo Hoffmann, twelve times Stock Championship champion, began to dominate the category at the end of the eighties, when he won the titles from 1989 to 1995.
In these seasons there were a great number of overtaking races, great duels, and parties full of emotion. In all these years there were hundreds of races on Brazilian race tracks. In 1982 two races were held at Autódromo do Estoril, in Portugal.
In 1987 the first big change in Stock Car took place. With GM's change of support in the organization, a fairing was adopted, created and assembled by bus body manufacturer Caio, which was inserted on top of the Opala chassis. The car gained in aerodynamics and performance, becoming very similar to a prototype, but without the GM brand. The safety equipment becomes more sophisticated.
1990s[]
In 1990 General Motors renewed its interest in the category and built a prototype intended to replace the Caio/Hidroplas model.
In 1991 new rules were established and the races were disputed in double rounds on the weekends, with two drivers per car, but the series continued to lose ground with the public, sponsors and television networks to other championships with many manufacturers involved, such as Campeonato Brasileiro de Marcas e Pilotos that included the involvement of Chevrolet, Fiat, Ford and Volkswagen, as well as the always popular Formula racing championships.
In 1994 the championship returned to the old rules and Chevrolet announced that the Chevrolet Omega would be introduced as the new standard model. As part of a marketing strategy and in order to reduce costs, the tickets were free and the races were now held in double rounds sponsored by Brazilian Formula Chevrolet in an event called Chevrolet Challenger. This decade marked a dominant era for Ingo Hoffmann with eight titles, three in partnership with Ângelo Giombell. His only serious challenges came from Paulo Gomes in 1995 and Chico Serra in 1999.
2000s[]
From 2000 on, the new Vectra body, made of fiberglass reinforced plastic and assembled with the new tubular chassis, debuts, but still keeping the 4.1 engine. From 2001 on, the v8 engine is introduced, General Motors stops organizing the competition, which is now being held by Vicar, owned by the former driver Carlos Col, who also manages Formula 3. To modernize the competition and improve the pilots' safety, Stock Car will now use a tubular chassis. The project is from Argentine engineer Edgardo Fernandez, who is doing something similar for the Argentinean Top Race V6 category, inspired both by the North American NASCAR and the German DTM. The chassis, manufactured at JL, a company owned by former driver Zeca Giaffone, can receive the fairing of any sedan car.
Since 2003 the 6-cylinder Chevrolet engine, used with modifications since the beginning of Stock Car in 1979, is no longer used in the category, being replaced by the 350 V8 Chevrolet engine imported from the United States by JL, similar to the one used in Busch Series, Nascar's second category, equal and limited to 450 HP. Thus, GM becomes sponsor of the category, supplying the sedan's bodywork, making room for other manufacturers to join the category with low investments. In 2004 the competition starts using the Astra body.
The 2005 season also went down in Stock Car history. Not only did the category become multi-brand - for the first time the Mitsubishi Lancer raced next to the Chevrolet Astra, but on October 30, 40 V8 Stock Car cars raced for the first time outside Brazil, worth points for the championship. It was a round alongside the TC 2000, the main category in Argentina and that in July had raced in Curitiba (Autódromo Internacional de Curitiba). The Autódromo Juan y Oscar Gálvez received an audience of 70 thousand people. Giuliano Losacco was the winner, with Mateus Greipel in second and Luciano Burti in third.
The year 2006 had more news. Besides keeping the race in Argentina on the calendar, the V8 Stock Car received its third brand. The Volkswagen Bora became the bodywork of ten cars in the main category of Latin American motorsport. The teams have been freed to use telemetry, which allows the teams greater control over the car's behavior.
For 2007 the competition counts with the participation of the fourth car manufacturer, Peugeot, which will use the 307 Sedan fairing initially on eight cars, and later on ten. The goal is that the category will have 10 cars from each of the four brands.
In 2008, Volkswagen announced its exit from the category, and the number of cars on the starting grid fell from 38 to 34. In 2009, it was Mitsubishi who left the category and the cars were changed to be similar to the German DTMs, and the number of cars fell again: from 34 to 32. Thus, the category remained with only two automakers: Chevrolet (Vectra) and Peugeot (307).
In 2009, other news. The first Stock Car race in history was held on a street circuit. The host city was Salvador, through a contract with the city hall, where it was the first city in the Northeast to promote the race. The place chosen was the streets of the Centro Administrativo da Bahia (CAB) which was adapted to receive the race (won by Cacá Bueno). It has since entered the competition's fixed calendar.[1][2]The second city to host a street circuit in Stock Car was Ribeirão Preto, in the interior of São Paulo.[1]
2010s[]
Starting in 2010, the fuel used in the cars was ethanol again (replacing gasoline), the cars also started using electronic fuel injection, the category gained another street circuit, and the races started being broadcast abroad.[3] The category had 34 cars again.
On March 10, 2010 the merger between Stock Car Light (Vicar Cup) and Pick-Up Racing was announced, creating Copa Chevrolet Montana, a new access division to the main category.[4] The Mini Challenge category was also created, replacing Stock Jr.
In 2010 the automaker Peugeot replaced the 307 sedan body with the new 408 model. For the 2012 season, Chevrolet is replacing the Vectra with the Sonic. In 2013 there was 34 cars on the grid, with 11 teams running Chevrolet and nine using Peugeot. The 2014 season marked the return of the Goiânia circuit to the competition, with two races, one of them being the Corrida do Milhão.[5] In 2016 the Sonic body was replaced by the new generation Chevrolet Cruze.
In 2020 the Stock Car have again have a second automaker. Toyota have the Corolla sedan as its representative.[6]
