The NASCAR Brasil stage at the Londrina Autódromo, on August 22 and 23, will hold special significance for Tata Calderón. The Colombian driver from SG28 Racing is aiming for another podium this season, but she also intends to use the event to broaden the mobilization in support of the earthquake victims in Colombia.
The country was struck by a magnitude 7.7 earthquake on August 10, which caused the death of around 300 people, left many injured, and led to the destruction of northern cities.
“Estas semanas tem sido muito difíceis para meu país. Vou estar na pista, mas com o coração na Colômbia, por todas as pessoas afetadas e por aqueles que estão reconstruindo suas vidas. Mais que nunca irei correr por meu país e aproveitar o evento para que mais pessoas nos ajudem nesta reconstrução”, afirmou Calderón.
