TATIANA CALDERÓN & BRUNA TOMASELLI Miss Stock Car Opener After Car Delivery Fails

March 8, 2026

• TATIANA CALDERÓN and BRUNA TOMASELLI’s highly anticipated debut as SG28 Racing’s all-female lineup hit a wall before it even started when their brand-new cars showed up at Curvelo missing critical components. We’re talking missing ECUs and other essential parts – the kind of delivery nightmare that would make any team pull their hair out, but feels especially frustrating when it derails what should have been a landmark moment for women’s representation in Brazil’s premier touring car series.
• CALDERÓN brings serious credentials to this party – Formula 1 development work, IndyCar, F2, WEC, IMSA – basically every major series short of NASCAR. Meanwhile, TOMASELLI was ready to graduate from Stock Light to her first full-time season in the top category after cutting her teeth since 2023. The Brazilian had already made her debut appearance in 2024 with KTF Sports, so this wasn’t about inexperience – this was about finally getting the platform these drivers deserve.
• The team’s statement reveals just how close they came to disaster – cars delivered in the early morning hours before the event, missing test sessions, and mechanics working around the clock trying to salvage something from this mess. TOMASELLI’s car managed one practice attempt but couldn’t complete a lap, while CALDERÓN’s car was missing its ECU entirely. At least SG28 Racing made the smart call prioritizing safety over desperation, and we’ll see both drivers get their proper shot when the series heads to Cascavel in March.
