Where Did This Race Track Come From?

A long, long time ago, in 1940, people decided Brazil needed a special place for car races. So, they built Interlagos! It was first opened by a special person named Adhemar de Barros. Later, it was named after a famous race car driver, José Carlos Pace, who was very good at racing. It’s like naming a park after a famous superhero!
