Cacá Bueno's Racing Journey
Cacá Bueno was born in Rio de Janeiro. He started his karting career in 1988. He won the championship in São Paulo state in 1992.
Cacá's father, Galvão Bueno, is a very famous sports commentator in Brazil. He used to host Formula One races and important Brazilian football matches. Because of his father, Cacá grew up around Brazilian sports heroes. One of them was the Formula One champion Ayrton Senna.
Even though Ayrton Senna was his idol, Cacá loved touring car racing more. He started racing in Stock Car Brasil in 2002. In his first championship, he finished third. He then became second place for three years in a row (2003–2005).
Finally, he won the Stock Car Brasil championship in 2006. He won again in 2007, becoming a double champion. He also won the championship in 2009, 2011, and 2012.
Cacá also raced in the TC2000, which is an Argentine touring car series. He finished third in the 2001 season. In 2007, he raced in TC2000 at the same time as Stock Car Brasil.
In 2010, he raced for Chevrolet in the World Touring Car Championship at Brands Hatch. He had to stop racing in the first race because of an engine fire. This also stopped him from starting the second race.
In August 2010, Cacá Bueno drove a Chevrolet Vectra car on the Bonneville Salt Flats. He reached speeds over 340 kilometers per hour (about 210 miles per hour)!
