São Paulo Indy 300 western turn

The São Paulo Indy 300 is an upcoming event in the IRL IndyCar Series, which will open the 2010 IndyCar Series season.

The event was announced on November 25, 2009 – the first event for the series outside of North America, Australia and Japan, and the first American open-wheel race in the country since 2000. Despite a lengthy distance to travel from most team bases, the event promoters will offer each team a six-figure sum of money, as well as paying for all expenses.
