The Velopark is a motorsport centre opened in 2010, located in the city of Nova Santa Rita, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It was designed to have a large number of layouts so that it could accommodate a wide variety of vehicles, such as karts, dragsters, and formula and touring cars.
The Velopark consists of a main racecourse, a straight for dragsters, and three kart tracks including an oval, the only oval made for karts in South America.[1]
Racecourse [edit]
The track is composed of nine turns and two long straights, for a total length of 2,153 meters.[2]
Its first official race was held in May 2010 for Stock Car Brasil. It was won by Ricardo Maurício. This track has 9 curves and 3 sectors with 2 DRS zones. Viewers are great because Brazil has their own favorite Felipe Massa, who is always fighting at high positions in the race. This is one of the shortest routes, so it is very important for the correct PIT STOP STRATEGY, as here, it can be easy to make mistakes, but mistakes can be corrected in just two long straight. :)
