Red Bull Racing made an astonishing 1-2 on the grid for the second round of South-American and Brazilian V8 Stock Car series this Saturday (April 10) at the Velopark in Nova Santa Rita, Rio Grande do Sul. Cacá Bueno was the fastest man on the track and claimed his fifth pole position in the shortest circuit of the calendar (only 2.278 kilometers) with a 54s172 lap, almost three tenths faster than his teammate Daniel Serra - who holds the record of wins at this track with four victories to his belt.

"It is my fifth pole position in eight races here. Moreover, in the other three opportunities I was very close to it", claimed the five-time Stock Car champion. "We have got a good setup for this track, I like the circuit and we are in contention for the victory with other seven or eight drivers", Bueno said.

He was on the last group to hit the track and recorded a great lap - 0s295 ahead of his teammate, who held the provisional pole with 54s467. Ricardo Maurício, Marcos Gomes, Max Wilson and Rubens Barrichello close the top-6 grid spots. Cesar Ramos was one of the highlights of this Saturday: the local driver was the fastest in FP1 and third in FP2 - in both the whole field made laps within the same second.

During qualifying, the RZ Motorsport driver was in the second group and held the provisional pole until the drivers of group nine went to the track - and the other six drivers did faster lap times.

The first double-header of the season starts at 1pm (local time) this Sunday with a 45-minute race. Race Two starts at 2:10pm with the top-10 reversed grid for a 30-minute battle.
