The series serves as the official access category to Stock Car Brasil, as well as having manufacturer support from Chevrolet.

History

Stock Car Light Curitiba, 2006.

In 1993, Stock Car B was created in order to facilitate the access of newcomers to the Stock Car Brasil, until 1999 the category competed in the same grid as Stock Car Brasil.

In 2000 the name of the series was changed to Stock Car Brasil Light and began competing separately from Stock Car Brasil.

In 2010, the merger between the Copa Vicar and Pick Up Racing resulted in the creation of the Copa Chevrolet Montana, with the engine and the appearance of the pick-ups, inspired by the street version of the Chevrolet Montana.

In 2013, the Campeonato Brasileiro de Turismo (Brazilian Touring Championship) replaced the Copa Chevrolet Montana. The chassis, designed by JL company was similar to the one used in Stock Car Brasil with a V8 5.7 LS engine.

In 2022, Stock Light was rebranded to Stock Series and officially designated as the support series to Stock Car Brasil, using cars that resemble the Chevrolet Cruze. [1] Series promoter Vicar announced that Stock Car, Stock Series, and F4 Brazil would be switching to Hankook tyres from 2023 onwards, replacing Pirelli. [4] On 8 December 2022, Vicar announced that the Stock Series would implement a cost cap of R$750,000 from 2023 onwards, alongside a R$700,000 prize pool. [5]
