built 631 days ago
Vitor Meira began racing go-karts in his native Brazil when he was 12 and won a Brazilian karting title by the time he moved to Europe to race cars in 1995, just before his 19th birthday. He has ... won the South American F3 title and was the inaugural winner of the Indy Racing League's Rising Star Award, given in honor of the late Tony Renna.
