FIFTH BRAZIL FINALIST CONFIRMED
The fifth Team Brazil Scholarship finalist competing for a place in this year’s Formula Ford Festival has been confirmed as title-winning karter Andrew Neves Maciel.
Neves Maciel, 18, has more than 200 kart victories and dozens of titles in the United States and Canada, including 2019 Junior National champion and several state championships.
This year Neves Maciel is racing in the F1600 Brasil championship and sits in the top three of the table once dropped scores are taken into account, and has been racing in shifter karts where he was vice champion of the Canada Open. He also has podiumfinishing prototype racing experience.
One finalist remains to be confirmed of the six from which the inaugural scholarship’s panel – which includes Formula 1 star Roberto Moreno – will pick one to race in this year’s famous end-of-season Brands Hatch event.
