Brazilian Racing News: Formula Fiat

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).
