The 6 Hours of Sao Paolo takes place at the Autodromo de Interlagos, Sao Paulo – a vibrant, cultural melting-pot in Brazil, sprawling near the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean. Sao Paulo is decorated by skyscrapers, a beautiful neo-Gothic cathedral, and is only a short distance from mountain spurs jutting from grassy hillsides, and turquoise lagoons. It’s also the most populous city in Brazil with an estimated population of 24.5 million as of 2024 – great for race day atmosphere.
