MCR in Brazil
Luiz and his Brazilian MCR’s have just completed the 2010 12 hour Tarauma Endurance Race and what a result, again.  The first MCR debuted in the Taruma 12 hour in 1999.  MCR’s cars have won 8 times since then.

1st place,  2010 Taruma winner, MCR No 5, with a Volkswagen 1.9L turbo 340 HP engine, Hewland FT200 with Kuhmo F3 tyres.  Drivers: Tiel Andrade / Bruno Justo / Eduardo Dieter.
2nd place finish went to MCR Hoerlle Team car No.99, powered by a Volkswagen Golf 2.0L Turbo, Sadev 6 speed sequential gearbox, Michelin F3 tyres.  The car was driven by Paulo Hoerlle / Alexandre Hoerlle / Mateus Castro.  This team have been front runners, they won the race in 2002 with an MCR.

One of the MCR team owners Luciano showed off his latest MCR P-2, with a Volkswagen 2.0L turbo 400 HP engine, Hewland FTR, Pirelli  tyres 285×18 front 305×18 rear, BBS wheels, 6 pot Wilwood calipers, 14″ front 13″ rear discs and carbon fiber high downforce bodywork.  Drivers: Christian Castro / Vitor Genz / Carlos Kray / Joao Santana.  Although the car lacked testing the team had to race in the Taurma 12 hour race.  They started from the back of the grid due to an engine problem in the qualify session, the car soon overtook everyone and built a 2 lap gap by the second hour.  It was a fantastic performance.  Unfortunately another engine problem ended the show.

Well done Brazilian MCR guys, great results.  Lucianos car is going to be amazing.  Keep up the hard work Luiz.
