Celso Neto ready for the start of the season

Celso Neto aprofessional touring car racer from Brazil, received an invitation last year from the Victor Gonzalez Racing Team (VGRT) to participate in the final four TC America powered by Skip Barber races. Neto started in the #8 Honda Civic Type-R car as a teammate to Sally McNulty. The young Brazilian driver was eager for the opportunity to not only drive for the VGRT team but also to drive with Honda in 2022.

“With the experience that Celso had in Brazil’s Touring Car championships, we are confident he will perform his best, starting with Watkins Glen,” said team owner Victor Gonzalez.

Neto promised to kick off his debut at full force and show his commitment to the VGRT Team. After his debut race, Neto concluded the season with races at Road America, Sebring, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. These tracks provided an opportunity for Neto to experience racing at some of the best-known and most challenging tracks in North America.

Celso got two podiums and 5 top five finishes. It was definitely an amazing start for a 17 year old rookie at TC America.

In 2023, Celso Neto will be racing with the SkipBarber team with the same Type-R Civic, but with a new car number, #7. The SkipBarber team is known for its professionalism and commitment to excellence. The team provides its drivers with the best equipment and support necessary to compete at the highest level. The partnership between Celso Neto and SkipBarber team will be a strong one, and both are excited to see what the future holds.
