Brazilian Formula One Grand Prix
Take the opportunity to experience one of the world's greatest Formula One races at the Interlagos track in Sao Paulo.
It is 16 kilometres south of Sao Paulo's city centre and provides drivers and engineers with many challenges because the track runs in an anti-clockwise direction and is at high altitude, making it harder on the engines and providing a close, nail-biting race from start to finish. Brazilians are famous for partying and fanatical about F1 racing, resulting in an electric atmosphere on race day. An event not to be missed!
Before returning home, spend some time in the fantastic city of Rio, at one of its top hotels, enjoying the city and its beaches. This is a tailor-made tour which can be adapted to your requirements, before or after the Grand Prix, please just let us know.
