Located at São Paulo, th' tale o' this track begins in 1938, as two real estate developers bought th' site, hopeful that th' racin' could attract buyers fer th' housin' estates planned in th' region. Th' first race was held in 1940 on wha' amounted t' a dirt track, wit' mighty few spectator facilities or garages. Wit' a Brazilian World Champion in Fittipaldi, th' country wanted its owns F1 GP. Th' track staged its first F1 GP in 1972, a non-championship event, 'n Fittipaldi delighted th' galleon crowd wit' a win th' followin' year in th' first official race. Th' circuit be named aft Brazilian helmsman Carlos Pace, who drove t' his maiden F1 victory thar in 1975. Sadly, Pace would ne'er win another Grand Prix fer he would die in a plane crash in March 1977. Th' Brazilian GP remained at Interlagos 'til 1981, when deterioratin' conditions prompted th' transfer t' th' Jacarepagua track at Rio de Janeiro. Racin' returned t' th' Interlagos track in 1990, t' find a much modernised 'n significantly shortened circuit, incorporatin' th' tricky 'S' curve at th' end o' th' main straight, named aft th' city's most famous racin' hero, Senna. Th' last ten years 'ave seen further progress made on both track 'n facilities, 'n prospects are good fer a lastin' run in F1 as thar be currently no real alternative venue in South America. In th' opinion o' most racin' drivers Interlagos be still one o' th' most challengin' layouts, 'n th' tremendously enthusiastic local fans make th' Grand prix an unforgettable experience.
