Flávio Elias takes 2020 Brazilian national title

Last weekend the 3rd and final round of the 2020 Brazilian nationals was held at the track of Americana as the race had been postponed in December due to the pandemic situation. Again Shepherd team driver Flávio Elias showed great performance and took the TQ spot but he had difficulties in the race and had to retire allowing Eduardo Dulac to take victory. The result however, along with those in the previous two rounds, was enough for Elias to take the 2020 Brazilian national 1/8 IC track title in front of fellow Shepherd racer Samuel Prato.
