Carlos Bueno faces his WTCC debut

Brazilian Touring Car star Carlos “Cacá” Bueno is facing his maiden appearance in the FIA World Touring Car Championship.

“I am really excited. In my career I have driven all kinds of touring cars: Stock Cars, Supertouring, TC2000, but never a WTCC,” he said.

“This is my first time in England and Brands Hatch is a very difficult racetrack. And on top of this I know that the level of the championship is extremely high. I am really grateful to Chevrolet for offering me this great opportunity.”

Bueno – three times a winner in the popular Brazilian Stock Car Championship – is driving for Chevrolet alongside Alain Menu, Yvan Muller and Rob Huff.

“I have met Alain as a competitor, when we both raced at the 200 km of Buenos Aires in the latest years. In 2009 we had a great fight on third position that eventually I managed to win. I’m sure that he will be happy to help me with good advises as well as Yvan and Rob. I can’t wait to start driving and I will do my best to achieve some good results for the team.”
