Watch the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTIkc7QRfWs Gaetano di Mauro won the opening race of the 2017 Campeonato Brasileiro de Turismo, but the victory added 80 kilograms of performance ballast to his car. The weight matched his own mass in racing gear, leading him to compare it with carrying a twin brother as a passenger. Despite that handicap, di Mauro recorded three wins and three additional podium finishes across the season. He ultimately finished runner-up in the championship standings. This short documentary explains the unusual performance rule, translates the number into human scale, and follows the season result without adding assumptions about the title outcome. It avoids claiming the ballast alone decided the championship. #shorts #GaetanoDiMauro #Motorsport #Racing #TouringCars
