Ponta Grossa Pilot Competes in Porsche Cup Brasil and Brings Campos Gerais to Interlagos

The Pontagrossense pilot on the Porsche Cup, Guilherme Figueiredo, will be the representative of Ponta Grossa and Campos Gerais in the next stage of Porsche Cup Brazil, scheduled for September 5th and 6th, the Autodromo de Interlagos, in São Paulo. The competitor competes in one of the main automotive categories in the country taking with him brands, companies and fans of the region through the campaign #PGnoPódio.

William's participation in the 2026 season represents the presence of Ponta Grossa in a competition of national and international reach. The pilot competes in the races representing nine partner companies, including brands with origin and performance in the Campos Gerais, such as Agrocete, Águia Sistemas, Calpar Calcário, Jurema Águas Quentes and Sicredi.

In addition to competing on the tracks, Guilherme also serves as commercial director of Agrocete, a company based in Ponta Grossa. The union between sport and business activity strengthens the connection of the project with regional development and expands the visibility of local companies within Brazilian motorsport.

Porsche Cup car approached community in Ponta Grossa

Before the Interlagos stage, the car used by the driver was exposed for two days in Shopping Plaza, in Ponta Grossa. The action allowed residents of the city to get to know a Porsche Cup Brazil competition vehicle and follow the trajectory of the Campos Gerais representative.

During the exhibition, Guilherme Figueiredo spoke with motorsport fans, children and young people interested in the sport.

“When I get on the track, I don’t just wear my name. I take with me companies, people and an entire region that believes in this project,” said the pilot.

The initiative also counted on a social action carried out in partnership with Belgotex. The public that followed the exhibition was encouraged to follow the profile of Santa Casa de Ponta Grossa on social networks, receiving gifts related to Porsche Cup Brazil and Agrocete.

The “50,000 Connections for Life” campaign resulted in more than 500 new followers for the hospital in just two days.

Campaign #PGnoPódio mobilizes fans

The exhibition also marked the beginning of the #PGnoPódio campaign, created to bring together companies, community and fans of the pontagrossense pilot in Porsche Cup.

The proposal is to turn William’s participation into a regional mobilization, showing that Ponta Grossa and Campos Gerais can also be represented in major national sports events.

The expectation is that the September stage will further broaden the public’s involvement with the project.

“Now I have companies, people, friends, my family and an entire region that believes in this project,” said Guilherme.

Porsche Cup Brazil has a national and international calendar, with stages that put Brazilian drivers in contact with major events of world motorsport.

The stage in Interlagos will be broadcast live on Bandsports and the official channels of Porsche Cup Brazil and Accelerated on YouTube.
