4 May 1998
Brazilian driver Antonio Jorge Neto (Cedros Rent a Car/Conces. Tempo/Fran) won the third round of the Brazilian F-Fiat Championship this weekend in Interlagos. Neto won the "A" Class, after starting from Pole and is now leading the championship. The fight for second place was one of the most exciting contests of the weekend, as Chico Serra (Sabó/Filtros Mann/Alpi) and Elias do Nascimento (Manchete/Bergitex/BSN) battled down to the wire, showing great racing for the spectators. With 5 laps to go, Nascimento touched Serra and Serra spun, losing 3 positions. At the end, Fred Marinelli (Sabó/Filtros Mann/Alpi), arrived second, followed by Nascimento, Chico and Waldir Buneder (Intral/Dado Beer/Arcor).
