“My expectations are good, I want to build a good weekend and score good points in the championship. I want to improve in race situations and analyze telemetry data well to be able to fight with other drivers for important positions. I thank Mobil and we’re going all out for Cascavel,” said the driver.
Murilo made his first appearance in the category in Santa Cruz do Sul, where he secured a top-ten result behind the wheel of the #55 car for the Full Time team. The competition also marks his transition to touring cars.
