If the Stock Car grandstands are usually divided between those for and those against Cacá Bueno, it’s because the two-time series champion (2006/2007) has always been faithful to two characteristics: speak out his mind and drive fast. Very fast.

Following the retirement of the legendary Ingo Hoffmann in 2008, Carlos Eduardo Galvão Bueno is, more than ever, the face of Stock Car – and its winningest active driver, with 20 race wins, two titles and three championship runner-up results (2003/2004/2005) dating back to his series debut in ’02.

For 2009, his goal with Red Bull Racing was clear: to clinch a third title. “My aim that season was to look back and be proud of a job well done,” he says. It was a dream he was able to fulfil and he won the title for a third time under the patronage of Red Bull Racing. “It’s an immense responsibility to bring this car to the checkered flag every Sunday,” he explains. “It symbolises the work of dozens of people who have given 110% at the shop so I could fight for victories and championships”.

More recently Caca made his World Touring Car Championship debut at Brands Hatch in 2010 for Chevrolet. To get his speed fix, Caca also took a Chevrolet Vectra to the Bonneville Salt Flats in August the same year where he reached a top speed of over 340kph.
