About

The Brazilian race track is strongly connected to the country's hero pilots Emerson Fittipaldi and Ayrton Senna. When Fittipaldi's successes started, the Brazilians soon wanted their own grand prix, and in 1973 Formula 1 had its debut in São Paolo on the Interlagos track. It saw the one and only victory of Carlos Pace, and was named after him after his death in an air crash. The race moved to Rio in 1981 when the area surrounding the Interlagos track was deemed unfit for Formula 1's image. After local hero Ayrton Senna died in 1994, a $15m redevelopment made the place ready for the return of premier racing to São Paulo.
