So, to give you guys some context, the Endurance Brasil series was born from the Endurance RS, a regional championship held in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil's southernmost state. Initially, the Endurance RS championship expanded by bringing racers from the folded GT3 Brasil series and the Spyder Race Championship, a one-make series for Aldee Spyders which was held in São Paulo with some races in Paraná.
Eventually, the series captured the interest of various racers by allowing a wide range of cars (from small 1.6 liter Touring Cars with radial tyres to GT3 Machinery with full race slicks), and by having low entry fees and overall running cost.
Another key point is that the series is organized and runned by the APE (Associação dos Pilotos de Endurance - Endurance Drivers Assossiation), meaning that rules, event format and everything related to the races is decided by the drivers and team owners.
Last, but not least, the series received a boost when they scored a title sponsorship with Cervejaria Império (a Brazilian brewery), firs through their energy drink Dopamina and later through their beer brand Império. This allowed the organization to invest in things like a better live coverage via YouTube, with in track reporters and more and better placed cameras (now, besides the on track cameras, the series is using drones and are experimenting with on board cameras to provide different angles to the transmission)
But this is enough of politics, so from now on we can go through the classes, cars and drivers of this series.
