Brazilian GP sold out

The possibility that Ferrari driver Felipe Massa may become the first Brazilian to win the Formula 1 World Championship since 1991 has increased anticipation around the upcoming Brazilian Grand Prix: 10 days before the race, it was sold out, and only a few tickets were available for qualifying sessions. Tickets for the November 2 race at the Interlagos circuit in Sao Paulo have been sold out for several weeks, although there were still some available for the qualifying session a day earlier, which is set to define the grid.

"We still have a few places on Saturday for Sector F (the most expensive, going for close to 200 dollars), that is all," businessman Tamas Rohonyi told the daily Folha de Sao Paulo in an article published Friday.

The 2008 edition of the Brazilian Grand Prix is already guaranteed a record number of spectators: 75,000 are expected to gather at Interlagos.
