TheItaipava São Paulo Indy 300 presented byNestlé was an event in theIRLIndyCar Series, contested in the2010 through2013 IndyCar Series seasons.
The event was originally announced on November 25, 2009, as the first championship event for the series outside North America and Japan,[1][2] and the firstAmerican open-wheel race in the country since theRio 200 atJacarepaguá in the2000 CART season. Due to a lengthy distance to travel from most team bases, the event promoters offered each team a six-figure sum of money, as well as paying for all expenses.[3]
Thestreet circuit race track was laid out in theSantana district, birthplace of legendaryBrazilian driverAyrton Senna and Brazilian auto racing pioneerChico Landi. The main straightaway of the circuit was along theSambadrome of Anhembi and utilized portions of theMarginal Tietê service drive. TheAnhembi Convention Center was used for support facilities and spectator attractions. The circuit was one of two IndyCar Series circuits (Baltimore the other) to have pit lanes not positioned at the start-finish line; São Paulo's was positioned after turn four.
