This Bradesco TCR South America program aims to identify, train, and support young South American kart drivers on their path towards professional touring car racing. The initiative seeks to strengthen the motorsport ecosystem in the region, creating a structured and professional model that allows emerging talents to be transformed into sustainable sports careers, with projection both regionally and globally.
During this period, Nicolás Fuca competed in the Bradesco TCR South America round held in Cuiabá. The Argentine, with his Lynk & Co. from Paladini Racing, was always fighting for the top 10 in all track activities. In the second race, he achieved eighth place overall and third place in the Junior Cup.
Meanwhile, Max Frigerio competed in two rounds of the Turismo Nacional of Brazil: one in Goiânia and the second in Cuiabá, where he achieved his first victory and became the first foreigner to win in the category. Frigerio, who races with a Hyundai HB20 from G Racing Motorsport, won Class B in the second race of the weekend.
