Ferrari F1 driver Felipe Massa went close to winning in his own karting event recently – Desafio Internacional das Estrelas, including winning one of the two races, but he finished in second to Michael Schumacher, who won the event overall.

However Massa has just won the 500 Miles of Granja Viana event near Sao Paulo in Brazil, alongside team mates Lucas di Grassi, and Stock Car Lights driver Julio Campos, after just under 11 hours of racing. He dedicated his win to his new born baby Felipinho.

Massa said;

“Together with the victory gained in Florianopolis last week this was a very important goal for me after I had dreamt about getting back onto the track for a long time. I want to dedicate this victory to my son, it’s my way to say how much I love him.”

Finishing in second place was a team featuring former Toyota F1 star Ricardo Zonta, while Rubens Barrichello‘s team came third.
