Goiania Stock Car Pro Series: Serra, Mauricio shine in first round

Stock Car Pro Series held its first round of 2021 at the Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna in Goiânia, featuring star names new to the series, Massa and Kanaan, who joined the grid with fellow heroes Barrichello and Piquet Jr.

But another big name, who gained notoriety by winning Le Mans 24 twice and already has three titles in this series, who did best. Daniel Serra was the winner of the first race, and came in fifth place in the second, leaving Goiânia at the head of the championship.

In race one, Ricardo Maurício spun in the decisive moments of the race, and Serra took the opportunity to triumph. Cacá Bueno was second and Allam Khodair was third.

In the second race, reigning champion Maurício recovered from his mistake of the previous race and overcame Gaetano di Mauro and Gabriel Casagrande, to win.

Massa, the birthday boy of the day, did not enjoy the debut he would have liked. In the first race he had a problem with the gearbox, and he retired on 12th lap. In the second, the team managed to solve the problem and return the driver to the track. After starting in last position, the rookie managed to reach 17th.

Kanaan hit the tire barrier at the exit of turn 1 during the first race and retired. The team was unable to return him to the track in the second race.

Barrichello also suffered a troubled time, making contact with other cars and had the best result of the 19th position in Race 2. Piquet Jr, who debuted with his own team, was also unlucky, ranking 22nd and 27th in both races and scoring no points.

The next double round of the Stock Car will take place in Interlagos, May 16.
