We
received an email from Joacir in Oct 2008:
Dears
Steve/Carole,
After four of the five races of the Brasilian Endurance Championship
we already have the tittle. Last Sunday/28, after three hours
of a tough race, we won in a great battle against 38 cars and
inherited the Brazilian Tittle. All the Vauxhall parts that we
bought from you did a great job again. Recently Italo ordered
new parts that are for us. And we are thinking of making new improvements
in the engine, so we will order some more soon. In the attached
picture you can see the car, the team, the wifes, the kids and
the trophies.
You can see something about the race at the following sites:

Best
Regards
Joacir A. Stedile

The
car shown is a mid engined sports car, which is designed and built in
Brazil.
We received
an email from Joacir A Stedile after he & his brothers had recently
won the longest race in Brazil (12 HOURS OF TARUMA)
|
|
The
circuit is called Autodromo de Taruma and the track extension
is 3.081 meters.
The
three drivers were Fernando H. Stedile (shown right), Edemar "Nino"
Stedile (shown below) and Joacir A. Stedile (shown below right).
Good to say that the team manager in the race was our 4st. brother
Paulo T. Stedile
In fact we are Agronomist Engineers by profession and we work
in the seed production field ( soybean, wheat and oat) and also
with dairy cattle. But we race since 1979 for sport and all the
work in the cars(we also have four Formulas VW) is made by ourselves
and one employee of the farm. The shop is installed in the farm
which is located in the southern state of BRAZIL called Rio Grande
do Sul and the city name is Passo Fundo. We also have a dynamometer
(Stuska) which is very useful.

By
the way, we recently won the longest race in BRAZIL ( 12 HOURS OF
TARUMA). It was a long race starting at midnight (December/18) and
ending at noon. We started at 3th grid position , drop to 25th in
the 1st lap(starting problem) and stepped up gradually until 2th
at 11:15 hours of race. At this time we took the leadership until
the checkered flag. Everybody asked about the mechanical features
of the car and mainly what ECU we use. All the parts that we bought
from you worked just fine.
Attached
you can see two pictures. One of the car and the other are the
pilots ( me with the white mustache and my two brothers Nino and
Fernando).
It
was great!

Email
recieved from Joacir Stedile in 13th December 2006
Dears Steve/Carole,
We did it again. For the 2th. year in a row we won the longest race
in BRAZIL the "12 HOURS OF TARUMA". Among 39 cars we started
at 3th position at Midnight December/09 . Took the leadership at 02:00
AM and alternated this position with another car which is owned by a
friend of us until 06:00 AM. At this point his
engined failed and we were 16 laps ahead of the 2th. We only maintained
the position saving the car and got the checkered flag at 12:00 AM 13
laps ahead of the 2th.
There were
some cars achieving 270 km/h(turbos) in the main straight while ours
could get only 215 km/h but you know that power in not the only one
factor in a race like that. In practice we made 120 laps plus 510 laps
in the race. As the track has 3.180 meters you can see that total covered
distance was 2003 km. The race was great. All parts we bought from you
worked just fine. We did not have any problem and did not removed the
engine dash even a single time. I will contact you again soon because
we are already thinking about the next season and in need of some parts
for that. You could see the final results click on the following links.
If you would like I can send some pictures as soon as I will get them
in my hands.
Best Regards
Joacir
