Brazilian stock cars

has anyone ever heard or seen brazilian stock cars before, i just saw 1 pic of them in an autosport magazine and they looked amazing, low as hell, 19-20" wheels, cool paint jobs, very cool!:devil:

just found some pics of some

and another, check out those wheels, its called the bssc, brazillian stock car championship

thanks......that is cool, I never know that there is touring car race in Brazil......I like the way they modified the body of the last version of Vectra.

yeah, and those pics are from 1999, having trouble finding more pics. can anyone help?

the cars look even smoother now from the ones i saw in the magazine

I am brasilian, I actually raced in the same weekend they raced before at Jacarepagua Circuit.

The series is called Stock Car V8, theres also Stock Car Light.
here are some pictures, let me know if you guys want more....

"never know that there is touring car race in Brazil" WTF? :flipa:

more...

another

in the rain!

Great looking series !
Could you (if you have some ) show some pics of the tyres and the rims?
I really love them ;)

Olivier

They look like Opel/Chevrolet's , correct ??

yeah, the cars are based off the Opel/Chevrolet Astra.

this one shows the wheel good, but the car is crashed

These Astra's are cool, we need somebody to make a kit of some of these cars! :cool:

ray, I think theres a guy in brasil who makes a resin kit. along with a few other Brasilian produced cars.:)

WOW just goes to show you this country sucks when i comes to racing. nascrap is far behind in coolness factor

I dont own an astra?

there is no two door vectra

sorry...i think were getting a bit confused

when i said ''your astra'' i meant the brazilian astra


and the 3 door vectra comment...well i think i just read one of your posts wrong...

sorry for any confusion

ok to clarify, i think in the uk the opel is called vauxhall, the astra and the vectra are completly different cars, but it shows how car companies band around with names, the vauxhaul nova in england was the corsa in europe, and then they changed it all to be in line, not sure why they keep doing that, there are hardly any kits of them other than the astra touring cars, which is a shame.

The touring car series throughout the world kicks ass, fast, fun and in production lookalike cars that u can identfy with, i have been to see the nascars when in california and i got very very bored, sorry but a big oval! fast yes, but even F1 has become boring, bloody ferarri, lol.
but touring cars are cool, loads of overtaking, paint swaping, and cool and attention keeping corners! plus they dont need all the pomp and cermoney that go go dancers and big flashing lights wit the nascars.

:devil:

http://www.btccpages.com/

anyone not familiar with the touring cars read these pages:devil:

the Btcc is defenitly a cool championship. second would have to be JGTC, those guys are flawless man, its amazing there is'nt any Japanese drivers driving for a top team in formula 1, they have some amazing drivers that can do amazing things with their cars.

wow! those cars are sweet!

perhaps its the way they come up through the ranks so to speak, most f1 drivers went thru carting, then formula ford, formula 3 etc until they get a ride. may b they just diversfy too much. but i still love japaneese for who they are, the oly people to have to engineer character into their vehicles!!!:devil:

cool, but I am not in another country :flipa:

fullblood, I know man :)

..... on another note, those cars are sick ass all hell, i love the whels and color schemes, cant belive ive never seen a pic of those type of cars before:rolleyes:
awsome stuff:D

The Opel/Chevrolet Vectra is called the Holden Vectra here in Australia, same as the Holden Astra. But what I don't understand is if the Holden Monaro was designed here, and being made in America as well, why do they have the Pontiac GTO badging? :confused:

Sorry if I went off topic.... :rolleyes:

probably the same reason why honda created acura! because the american market likes tradition, and new (foreign) cars are not realy that well respected, a shame i know, but to quote shakespeare "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet!":devil:

on another note, This is one of Hundreds of Racing Championships that race in countless tracks all over brasil............and I never lived in a hut. :D
