    6 Hours of Curitiba

    Yesterday we had here in Curitiba, an endurance race, the 6 Hours of Curitiba...
    Were racing 3 Porsche GT3 RS, 1 DTM Mercedes CLK, some national prototypes, and modified road cars...
    It was a great race!!! fast cars, lots of overtakings....
    and the best was the sound of the Porsche engines... when the cars got the other side of the track, the only sound we heard was the porsche´s one...
    the surprise was the quickness of the DTM mercedes... until it retired with gear problems, it took 2 laps on all cars, except the 2nd position, a MCR prototype...

    Tomorrow, I show you some photos of the race, and if you want, I tell more details of the race, and the porsches...

    but the best of all is that the two finishing porsches stayed behind a prototype during entire race... and got only second and third places...

    Teve algum piloto famoso na corrida?
    Would it be possible, to play forever?
    The conclusion reached was that a player is inevitably doomed to lose.

    Sorry, but it's Portuguse, not Spanish.
    I just asked if there were any known drivers in the race.
    Would it be possible, to play forever?

    the well known drivers were Raul Boesel (World Sportscars Champion in 1987 with a Jaguarand former Indy Car driver), Tarso Marques (former F1 driver)...
    the brazilian famous drivers were Xandy Negrão (stock-car ace), Paulo de Tarso (Tarso Marques´ father), Beto Giorgi (stock-car ace), Juliano Moro (F3 Sudam ace) and many other amateur racers...
