Raphael Teixeira entered the season as the defending champion in the PRO division. Arthur Gama and Giovani Girotto entered the season as the reigning champions in the PROAM and AM divisions, but neither of them would defend their title as they moved up to the PRO and PROAM divisions respectively.
Teams and drivers
All entries in the series are operated by Sprint Race. Two drivers may share driving duties and collect points for the same entry. All cars used a 3.6 L (3,600 cc) V6 engine and the car models represented are used for aesthetic purposes only.
The provisional calendar for the 2023 season was announced on 12 January 2023. All races of the 2023 season will be held on road courses, with the exception of the fifth round at Goiânia where it uses the track's External Circuit oval layout instead.[38]
On 7 June 2023, NASCAR Brasil Sprint Race announced that the second Autódromo José Carlos Pace round will now host the season finale on 10 December instead of the fifth round of the season. The schedule change was requested by the Municipality of São Paulo due to "the need to carry out a schedule of works" that needed to be done at Interlagos. The second round at Goiânia's Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna, which was initially scheduled to host the final round on 19 November, will now host the fifth round of the season on 30 July.[39]
Points are awarded to the driver's entry. While the drivers from all classes would compete at the same time, they would only score points on their respective classes, nonetheless the exception is the special edition race 1 and 2 that scored based on the final result not taking into account the class position. If an entrant entered two drivers, then both drivers would earn points for their entry. Drivers must complete at least 75% of the race in order to be classified for points. Drivers are allowed to discard points from one Special Edition score and one Brazilian championship score towards their final tally in the overall standings.[40]
