It was an Englishman, Louis S. Sanson, who designed and developed the Interlagos circuit, which opened its gates

in 1940. The area was sparsely populated at the time, close to the two great water reservoirs of the city (hence the

name, ‘between the lakes’) and the plans were quite ambitious including a hotel and a spa. Only the circuit was built

but, of course, not in its present configuration.

On May 12 1940, the track was inaugurated with 7.900 meters by then. With nearly 15,000 spectators watching, Arthur

Nascimento Jr. won the race driving an Alfa Romeo. Our very beloved Chico Landi arrived in second place driving a

Maserati. He kept racing at the circuit until his retirement in 1974.

The first international race was held in 1947 and the winner, the Italian Achille Varzi also drove an Alfa Romeo, Chico

Landi arrived in second place in his Maserati.

Thirty-two years after the first race, on March 30, 1972, fifty thousand spectators saw Carlos Reutemann win the first

modern Formula 1 race at the Interlagos circuit in Bernie Ecclestone’s Brabham. In the next year, Brazil definitely joined

the selected group of countries on the calendar of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship.

Many people think that Interlagos made it possible for motorsport to develop in the country offering a world class circuit

for the various new categories that needed a home.

In 1980, the Brazilian Grand Prix moved to Rio de Janeiro seeking better conditions and there were rumors that

Interlagos would be turned into a housing project. However, in 1989 this situation changed. With the municipal

elections, the newly elected Mayor Luiza Erundina convinced the current President of the Brazilian ASN at the time,

Piero Gancia to lobby for the return of the race to São Paulo. Their efforts were successful and after a needed

modernization of the facilities which included reducing the length of the circuit to approximately 4,000 meters the

Brazilian Grand Prix returned to Interlagos in 1990.

The economic impact of this major sport event on the finances of the city is considerable as evidenced by the study of

the city authorities. Approximately US$ 150 million in additional taxes flow into the city treasury during the weeks of

the festivities and the weekend of the race.

Interlagos has a glorious history and the list of names of great drivers who competed there is indeed very impressive.

Legendary Argentine Juan Manoel Fangio raced there twice in the fifties. Jackie Stewart drove once in 1973. The list

goes on with the names of Ayrton Senna, Nelson Piquet, Emerson and Wilson Fittipaldi, Alain Prost, Ronnie Peterson,

Jacky Ickx, Niki Lauda, Clay Regazzoni, James Hunt, Graham Hill, his son Damon, Peter Revson, Alan Jones, Jody

Schekter, Keke Rosberg and now his son Nico, Riccardo Patrese, Nigel Mansell. Jacques Laffite, Rene Arnoux, Mika

Hakkinen, Carlos Reutemann, François Cevert,… the list goes on and on with the names that all racing fans knows.

No wonder young drivers feel a special thrill when they first accelerate a racing car down to the aptly named “S” corner,

the layout of which that was suggested by Ayrton Senna at the time of the last major modification of the circuit.

A large-scale renovation programme for Interlagos began in 2014, with the resurfacing of the asphalt. The Paddock

Club area has been extended above the entire length of the garages and the old press room was demolished. For next

year, further improvements are planned. This renovation scheme is being funded by the Ministry of Tourism.

Access to the Interlagos circuit from the city side is not particularly complicated or time-consuming due to the special

circulation patterns introduced by the São Paulo Traffic Department. Nevertheless a few points need to be

remembered:

a. FRIDAY is a difficult day because the normal traffic flow of people going to work can only be changed slightly and the

race weekend circulation pattern does not apply.

Approaching the circuit you will not find the exclusive lane for accredited vehicles and cars. You will have to go as far as

the first roundabout on Avenida Interlagos and double back from Praça Moscou roundabout to the first street on the

right (Rua Jaquirana) which takes you right up to Gate 7 - the Teams and Press entrance.

b. On SATURDAY and SUNDAY the pattern changes. The main avenue to get to the circuit, Avenida Interlagos, will

have a reversed lane that will be the access road to Gate 7. The access to this lane (FAIXA VIP) will be after Enzo

Ferrari square. This access will have temporary traffic signs from the city side. Sometimes the pattern change

confuses people so let us make it clear: FRIDAY is one traffic pattern, SATURDAY and Sunday is a different one. Keep

an eye on the orange colored temporary traffic signs.

c. On SATURDAY and SUNDAY the traffic reverts to the normal direction after practice/race thus you will be able to exit

from the circuit and drive directly to Marginal Pinheiros and the city.

d. Only accredited vehicles, taxis and shuttles can access Avenida Interlagos. Remember to fix the sticker on the car

before coming to the circuit.

One last note: there are radar speed traps along the Marginal Pinheiros and Avenida Interlagos and the fines for

speeding are quite considerable. Drive slowly and carefully, particularly when using the dedicated lane on Saturday and

Sunday and be aware of pedestrians crossing the street.

e. On SUNDAY the vehicle exit gates from the circuit will only be open 45 minutes after the end of the race.
