From an official press release

Adrian Sutil, Pastor Maldonado, Jérôme d’Ambrosio and Jules Bianchi are all about to go head to head in Florianopolis (Brazil) for Felipe Massa’s annual karting event.

After closing down the entry list, organizer Felipe Massa declared he was happy with the way his race is shaping up.

"The level is getting higher and higher and every year we have been able to add some new attractions, as is the case of the guys who race against me in Formula 1," Massa said.

20,000 spectators are expected to be in attendance at Sapiens Arena to watch the race. The event can also be followed on the web at www.brmtv.com.br (live broadcast) or at www.desafiodasestrelas.com.br (live timing).
