Outros dois protótipos da época. O da frente é o segundo Newcar, que nada mais é do que o Amato-Opala, comprado pelo piloto Newton Pereira e rebatizado. Seguindo a tradição da Mecânica Nacional e das carreteras, com uma pitada de Lavoisier, a grande maioria dos protótipos brasileiros era construída de restos de outros carros. Raros eram os carros construídos por revolução, quase tudo era evolução. Newton também construiu um outro Newcar antes de adotar o Amato, além de um Formula Super-Ve que correu entre 1974 e 1975, que nada mais era do que seu Bino de Formula Ford levemente reformado. Conseguiu um segundo lugar com este bólido. Newton fez bastante sucesso na Divisão 4 correndo com Heve e Polar. O de trás, com capota, é o Milli-VW, de José Minelli. Minelli viria a construir um Fórmula Vê que faria bastante sucesso. A corrida, provavelmente, é as 3 Horas de velocidade de 1972. Foto de Rogerio P. Luz. Contribuição de Joaquim Lopes.
Two other prototypes from that time. The darker one in front is the Newcar, which in fact, is the same Amato-Opala pictured below, bought by Newton Pereira, who had much success in the prototype category driving Polar and Heve. Newton also built an earlier Newcar prototype. He also built a Super Vee which was raced in 1974 and 75, which was based on his Bino Formula Ford chassis. Most prototypes of the era were slightly modified earlier chassis or outright copies of foreign cars. The light car with a roof is the Milli VW, built by Jose Minelli, who built a successful Formula Vee in the late 70's, which was champion in 1979. Photo by Rogerio Luz. This is most likely the 3 Hours of Interlagos, of 1972.
