Autodromo Eduardo Prudêncio Cabrera is a 3.080 km (1.914 mi) motor racing circuit in Rivera. It was inaugurated in September 1951. However, it was abandoned at the end of the 1990s.[1] In 2012, the circuit was rebuilt again and it was reopened in November 2013.[1] The circuit currently hosts Fórmula Truck, and national championships. However, it also hosted TCR South America Touring Car Championship and some other Brazilian motorsport championships, such as GT Sprint Race and Copa Truck due to its proximity to the Brazilian border.
