Marçal Muller took advantage of starting from pole position and bypassed Senna's S in the lead, accompanied by Miguel Paludo in second. Lucas Salles jumped well, from fifth to fourth, behind Chris Hahn. Werner Neugebauer dropped to fifth.

The safety car was activated to rescue four cars that crashed in Laranjinha. For the sub-championships, the leaders were Peter Ferter (Sport), in sixth overall, and Bruno Campos (Rookie), in 13th.

The restart came at the opening of lap 4, with no changes of positions. At that point, some cars began to activate the windshield wiper, as it drizzled on sections of the road.

Marçal cleared the margin over Paludo, who ended up sweating in the taking of the Junction when using the zebra. This favored Hahn's attack, who paired up on the main straight, but stayed out on the contour of Senna's S and collected. Then on the fifth lap once again the #7 went astray. Hahn was opportunistic at Laranjinha and dived inside to be vice-leader.

But Paludo had not given up second place and continued to chase Hahn. The dispute favored Muller in the lead, and the #544 opened lap 7 3.860s ahead of the #26.

The rain tightened, requiring a new intervention by the safety car.

Peter Ferter, who was leading Sport, went astray. Lineu Pires took advantage and took the lead, but also spun in the next corner. Then Edu Guedes had malfunctions in the front of his car.

When the peloton was reestablished, the top 5 was composed of Muller, Hahn, Paludo, Salles and Neugebauer. In seventh, Ferter had regained the lead in Sport, while Bruno Campos, in 11th, was the best in the Rookie class.

The restart came at the opening of lap 10, with the surface already quite slippery. Hahn tried to attack Muller on the outside at Laranjinha and Bico de Pato. The two opened lap 12 separated by 0.065s and then made alternating lines on Senna's S. Hahn took the outside trajectory at the curve of the Sun and left the door open for an attack on the braking of the Lake, but held the front with style.

With other competitors running in the challenging grip conditions, the safety car was deployed again. Hahn led ahead of Marçal and Paludo. Neugebauer and Alceu Feldmann completed the top 5. In seventh Ferter led in Sport, while in Rookie the first was Eduardo Menossi, with 11th place.

And they went to the flag convoyed by the security car.

Summary of Challenge 2 of the Challange at Interlagos

The penultimate sprint stage of the Porsche Cup C6 Bank had all the ingredients that make the difference in the 20 years of life of the category: intense disputes, memorable overtaking and extremely busy races at Interlagos. Marçal Muller won the Carrera Cup after passing Pedro Aguiar on the outside in Senna's S. But who stole the show was the nine-time champion Miguel Paludo, who started from 14th and was second, keeping the lead in the championship.

And he opened lap 3 in first place. Affonso was second and Morestoni third. Ferrer and Heil completed the top 5.

At the opening of the next round, Lucas Lucco overtook Leticia Bufoni for seventh place. But the #777 appeared to have a loose fairing piece and ended up blocking wheels when braking at the Lago curve. Leticia approached, but without action to try to retake the position.

Morestoni regained second place passing Affonso at Laranjinha on lap 6. He was faster than the leader and there were still 9 minutes left on the countdown clock.

The safety car was deployed on lap 8, in an incident at the Lago corner. Gustavo Costa was crossed on the tangency line and ended up being collected by William Araujo's car, determining the end of the race for both.

The race restarted for the one-lap sprint. Morestoni tried to go outside on Moura Neto. Fernando Arruda advanced well from fourth to second and Gui Affonso spun in Senna's S, getting crossed. The competitors avoided the #4 car, with Neto Heil showing too much reflex not to hit Affonso's car.

Arruda tried until the end to pass Moura Neto. But he abused it and ended up running at the Junction. Morestoni thanked him, regaining second place. But on the consecration lap, a penalty was announced to the #8 car for burning the restart.
