Defending champion Casagrande won the first race, which had only the regular series drivers, and saw his partner Robe take fourth place in the second race, which was for the guests. In Race 2, Porsche Cup Brazil star Enzo Elias was the winner.
Haas F1 reserve driver Fittipaldi, who was Tony Kanaan’s guest, drove a great recovery race. From 20th position on the grid, he charged through the field and finished fifth.
The day was not good for two former Formula 1 drivers: Massa’s car suffered an axle shaft failure, which meant that car #19 had a terminal problem. As a result, Timo Glock could not start Race 2.
Massa said: “The axle shaft broke, I couldn’t continue. I still tried to take the car to the pit so that Timo would have a chance to race, but I couldn’t.
“I left sad that we couldn’t finish both races, but happy to have welcomed Timo here in the team, even for the human side of the whole story.”
