The schedule starts this Friday (26) with free practice sessions. On Saturday, there will be another track session and qualifying, which determines the top six positions eligible for the sprint race — a short race that forms the first three rows of the grid. On Sunday, Race 1 is scheduled for 9 a.m., lasting 23 minutes plus one lap, and Race 2 at 2:15 p.m., lasting 33 minutes plus one lap.
The youngest on the grid and runner-up in the 2025 F4 Brazil, Murilo Rocha drives the car prepared by the Full Time team. The driver already knows Velocitta from previous stints in the motorsport base, which may help in adapting to the race weekend.

In the previous stage, at Interlagos, Murilo had his best performance of the season so far. He advanced to the top 6 in qualifying, contested his first sprint race in 2026, and finished second in Race 1 after fighting for the lead in the final part. With the result, he reached 65 points and tied with Bruna Tomaselli in the Rookie of The Year battle.
“I am very excited to race at Velocitta. The year 2026 has been full of new experiences and I am increasingly adapted to the NASCAR Brazil car, thanks to the good work of the Full Time team and the trust of the Mobil™ brand. It is positive to race on a track where I have already raced formula cars, as we saw at Interlagos that knowing the layout was an important factor for performance throughout the weekend,” Murilo highlighted.
