In 1907, the Automóvel Clube do Brasil (ACB) was founded in Rio de Janeiro, becoming the first entity responsible for sports competitions with automobiles in Brazil.

The first official competition took place in 1908, when the Itapecerica da Serra Circuit[3] was created in the state of São Paulo.

The alignment of ideas between drivers and sports entrepreneurs about the professionalization of the category only happened in the early 1960s, which led to the creation of a confederation.

To avoid conflicts of competitions and championships with the CBA, categories were first created for kart racing and rally.

To professionalize Brazilian auto racing, the CBA created driving schools in the 1960s and invested in the formation of "official competition and timing agents".
