Rio 200

This event was the only South American race sanctioned by CART.

The IRL IndyCar Series began its 2010 season in Brazil with the São Paulo Indy 300, its first event outside of North America or Japan.

However, this event took place on a temporary street circuit in São Paulo rather than at a permanent facility like Jacarepaguá in Rio de Janeiro.

[1] CART, later renamed Champ Car, never returned to Rio.
