I've ment this. Looks like they split original panels to fit onto those standard roll cage.

It is the same tube-frame from JL G-09 welded inside a production based body shell. Some parts like doors and hood are still made of fiber. The lights also comes from the road car. Windshield is now actual glass.
For those who missed, someone has uploaded Goiania races 1 and 2 on YT already.
EDIT: Hood/Bonnet. Not "roof".

Very nice looking cars. How much they cost?

I only found a number for the old J GL09: Back in 2009, they sold for $240.000.

I've checked through brazilian autosport sites and they confirm that engines are different: Toyota uses a NASCAR Truck block, while Cruze have one from Camaro. That's a huge and positive step for the championship in modern circumstances when monopolisation destroying the sport (all that nonsense about "cost saving", you know). Definitely, I'll watch this if I found any possibility.

Are there any articles to read about "tuning" these cars at different tracks? Something like Japanese have with their Autosport. Or do these cars race "out of box" with absolute minimum of changes? Well, maybe even tyre pressure and riding height are not standardised and it's interesting how drivers tune their machinery at different tracks.

In the good old days, Argentine magazines like Corsa and Automundo had technical articles. But today they are very scarce.

It's a common attitude, unfortunately. AutoSprint and AutoHebdo used to have lots of interesting tech details about different types of racing cars. It was 30 years ago. Today they write only about drivers. As if these drivers run without cars at all.

I've watched races at Goiânia, that take place few weeks ago. Khodair's break through the peloton during Saturday's second race made me grieve, because it was made by fan push (push-to-pass button), but whatever… I've read, there are kind of "Joker" at debute season for manufacturer in case of 30-point gap at standings. During first rounds Toyota was faster then Chevrolet and made gap. Chevrolet's drivers were unhappy with this: Toyota cars were a bit faster on straights then Chevrolet (about 2 or 3 km/h). The difference was amplified by the predominance of fast track such as Interlagos and Goiânia. As I know, Chevrolet teams or Giafone upgraded their cars (aeropackage, clearance and something else). Unfortunately, I can't find this source right now.
