• Pedro Clerot seeks decisive push for first Brazilian title.
• Lucas Staico must close a 75-point gap on the championship leader.   
• Vinicius Tessaro looking for first win of the season.  

After a two-month break, the Formula 4 Brazilian Championship returns to the track for the penultimate round of the season at the Ayrton Senna Autodrome in Goiania. The circuit named after the greatest Brazilian champion of all time will be the third circuit to host the Brazilian series in its debut season after Velocitta and Interlagos, which will also be the track that will close the season on 11 December. On the 3835 metres of the Goiás track, Pedro Clerot (BRA - Full Time Sports) will try to launch the winning attack for the first Brazilian title, 75 points ahead of his direct pursuer Lucas Staico (BRA - TMG Racing). Clerot, the Brazilian driver at the recent FIA Motorsport Games at Paul Ricard where he achieved a fourth place in the qualifying race and a good top 10 finish in the main race, will also have to guard against attacks from Vinicius Tessaro (BRA - Cavaleiro Sports), third in the standings and looking for his first success of the season. Successes that Nicolas Giaffone (BRA - Cavaleiro Sports), Fernando Barrichello (BRA - Full Time Sports) and Ricardo Gracia (BRA - Full Time Sports) will try to replicate. New entry in the series, in place of Aurelia Nobels, engaged in the last selection of the FIA Girls On Track Rising Stars programme in collaboration with Ferrari Driver Academy, will be Arthur Pavie (BRA - TMG Racing).

Accompanying the Tatuus F4 T421 on the starting grid, powered by the 180 hp Abarth T-Jet 1.4 engine of the Formula 4 Brazilian Championship, will once again be the new Abarth Pulse, the official safety car of the Brazilian series.

The programme in Goiania includes two free practice sessions and qualifying on Friday, 4 November. On Saturday at 8.23 am and at 1.53 pm the first two races of the penultimate round of the season, while on Sunday at 8.53 am race 3 will start.
