The São Paulo driver arrives at the Paraná circuit backed by a decades-long career in national motorsport. Brazilian Brands runner-up, Navarro started his career in karting and later competed in categories such as Formula Ford, Formula Chevrolet, and South American Formula 3.
The expectation for the stage is to take advantage of the performance shown in the practice sessions and seek a prominent position in the races. According to Navarro, speed has been a constant throughout the championship, but mechanical problems have prevented the performance from being converted into results.
“We are always fast, including in the last stage we were in the top positions and had a breakdown. The goal is to convert our work into results, as we have been showing competitiveness throughout the championship,” he explained.
The stage schedule begins on Friday, August 21, with the Shakedown, followed by an extra practice and the first free practice.
