Racing at home and in front of the crowd, the driver of the Chevrolet Camaro #11 from Team RC faced extra challenges throughout the stage due to the so-called “success ballast,” which added weight to the car because of his previous results. Even so, Witold managed to maintain competitiveness with the new RiSE26 model of NASCAR Brasil, despite difficulties in qualifying.
The driver’s strategy was essential for the performance over the weekend, especially in a schedule marked by variable track conditions and strong competition on the grid.
In the first race of the stage, held on a wet asphalt, Ramasauskas had a technical performance and managed to advance important positions, crossing the finish line in third place, securing another podium in the season.

Emotional with the results at home, Witold highlighted the importance of the moment in the season: “Very happy with the results achieved racing at Interlagos, my home and in front of friends, family, and fans! We maintain the lead in the Challenge division and our focus remains on the championship. Now it’s time to celebrate and already start working for the next stage at Velocitta,” commented Witold, who reinforces his position in the lead of the Challenge division and maintains a strong pace in the title fight.
The next stage of the competition will be held at the Autódromo Velocitta, on June 27 and 28, in Mogi Guaçu, in the interior of São Paulo.
