The Velopark is a motorsport centre opened in 2008, located in the city of Nova Santa Rita, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It was designed to have various 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 eleven turns and two long straights, for a total length of 2.278 km (1.415 mi).[2]
Its first official race was held in May 2010 for Stock Car Brasil. It was won by Ricardo Maurício. This track has nine curves and three sectors with two DRS zones. The circuit also hosted the Brazilian Formula Three Championship.
