Verizon IndyCar Series officials have confirmed that they are seriously working toward a possible return to Brazil for the 2015 season.
Up until the 2013 calendar, IndyCar held a popular race in the streets in Sao Paulo and Mark Miles, CEO of IndyCar parent company Hulman & Co, said that finding a way to return to Brazil is a priority.
"Brazil has a real history in IndyCar racing and we would like to re-establish a championship race there as early as 2015," he said.
Miles said the series is currently in negotiation with the regional government and TV Bandeirantes about a race in the national capital Brasilia.
The circuit layout for the race at the Nelson Piquet circuit was not immediately announced. It has a 12-turn, 5.5-kilometer (3.4-mile) anti-clockwise layout for most of the races there.
