The Brazilian Grand Prix is often held in Sao Paulo at the Autodromo Jose CarlosPace, but few fans today remember the man after whom Interlagos is named.
A debonair and charming man, Pace - who was known to his friends as Moco - was a school friend of Wilson Fittipaldi and started racing in 1963 at the wheel of a Renault Dauphine.
In 1975Pace scored his first (and as it turned out only) Grand Prix victory in front of his home crowd at Interlagos after a stirring battle with Fittipaldi but a series of other places meant that he ended the season sixth in the World Championship.
Autódromo José CarlosPace is the venue of the Formula One Brazilian Grand Prix, located in a suburb of the city of São Paulo.
The traditional name of the circuit (literally, "between lakes") comes from the fact that it was built in a region between two large artificial lakes, Guarapiranga and Billings, which were built in the early 20th century to supply the city with water and electric power.
In the 1970s it was renamed to honor the then recently deceased Formula One driver José CarlosPace.
