On June 20–24, the MG Club of Brazil staged a highly successful 1000-mile FIVA-sanctioned historic rally across Brazil. With 52 cars (manufactured between 1919 and 1980) the rally’s obvious Brazilian entries were joined by enthusiasts from Argentina, Uruguay, Portugal and even Germany. Star quality was added to the event by the participation of former F1 drivers such as Nelson Piquet (Jaguar E-Type V12), Roberto “Pupo” Moreno (Alfa Romeo GTV 2000) and Wilson Fittipaldi (Porsche 911 Targa). The regularity rally (under the rules of the FIA-Historic) began and ended in the city of São Paulo, and covered the states of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais. The overall winner of this year’s event was the Jaguar MKII of Gilbert and Raquel Landsberg from Brazil.
