WEC at Interlagos Brazil


  • Interlagos Raceway Av. Sen. Teotônio Vilela, 261 - Interlagos, São Paulo - SP, 04801-010, Brazil (map)

TF Sport Corvettes runner up and fourth at WEC round 5 in Brazil

The # 81 Z06 GT3.R piloted by Charlie Eastwood, Rui Andrade and Tom Van Rompuy finished 2nd in LMGT3 after 6 hours of racing at the 2.677-mile Interlagos circuit in Sāo Paulo.

The # 33 Z06 GT3.R piloted by Jonny Edgar, Ben Keating and Daniel Juncadella finished 4th.

While both Corvettes started in the top 10, the outcome was a pleasant surprise as with just a few brief full course yellows, it is hard to gain position outright on the tight, twisty, technical Formula 1 circuit that chews up tires and can be tough on drivers

Despite 2 penalties for small infractions, the TF Sport Pros performed well among their peers that fielded a total of 18 cars from 9 different marques.

The race was won by # 78 Lexus RC F GT3 piloted by Jose Maria Lopez, Clemens Schmid and Razvan Umbrarescu of the AKKODIS ASP TEAM.
