Historic competition circuit in Barra
The former Kartódromo da Barra, also recalled as Kartódromo Nelson Piquet, operated on Avenida das Américas.
Location and closure
The circuit stood on land later occupied by Complexo Ribalta at number 9650. The successor complex confirms the former track's presence, but its exact closure date is not confirmed.
A distinct kart circuit
This was not the kart circuit inside the Jacarepaguá autodrome. The two facilities occupied different sites and have separate historical records.
Ownership evidence
A biography says Norman Casari owned tracks in Rio and organised Fórmula Casari competition here, but available sources do not prove that he operated the circuit throughout its history. No exact location of the former track has been verified for navigation.
