About Autódromo Internacional Zilmar Beux de Cascavel
Overview
Autódromo Internacional Zilmar Beux de Cascavel is a motor racing circuit off highway BR-277 in Cascavel, in the west of Paraná state. It carries the name of Zilmar Beux, its main founder and builder, and was known simply as Autódromo Internacional de Cascavel until 2012. The circuit was built by a company formed by local enthusiasts, which after 41 years donated the land to the city of Cascavel. It has a reputation as the fastest circuit in Brazil, and today it hosts rounds of Stock Car, NASCAR Brasil, Copa Truck, Fórmula Truck and TCR South America alongside regional car and motorcycle racing, drag racing and driver training.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
The lap is 3,058 metres long and 12 metres wide, with seven corners. Average lap speeds above 173 km/h have earned it its reputation for speed, and Copa Truck describes it as the fastest track on its calendar. The best-known corner is the Curva do Bacião, the first corner of the lap, nicknamed the Brazilian Eau Rouge. It is taken at close to 200 km/h and has a radius of almost 300 metres, the largest of any corner in the country, and it was blamed for a series of tyre failures during the 2012 Stock Car round. Most of the track is asphalt, but a 220 metre section of the finishing straight is concrete, which also serves for drag racing. The track was resurfaced in 2022 with the kind of asphalt used on circuits that host Formula 1. The fastest recorded race lap is 55.772 seconds, set by Matheus Iorio in a Formula 3 car in 2016.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
A remodelling carried out by the city widened and repaved the track and added run-off areas built to FIA standards, 36 garages, a helipad, fixed grandstands and a larger access tunnel, together with improved camping, leisure, restaurant and snack areas. The complex can hold 75,000 spectators. It covers 39.6 alqueires, and about half of that area is a protected natural reserve.
History
Racing in Cascavel began on the city's streets, where the first official race was held in November 1964 over a course of roughly seven kilometres. The permanent circuit opened on 7 September 1970 as a dirt track, and its asphalt surface was inaugurated on 22 April 1973, making it the third circuit in Brazil and the first paved circuit in the country's interior. Stock Car first raced there in 1979, and Fórmula Truck was born at the venue. Years of limited investment later cost Cascavel its place on the national calendars, although it continued to host regional events and driver training. After the municipal works it reopened on 5 August 2012 with a Fórmula Truck round that drew more than 50,000 people, and the start and finish line was moved the same year. Since then the major national series have returned, with Formula 3, GT and Porsche Cup cars also racing there in the 2010s.
