Hoover Orsi

Orsi leads Allam Khodair and Ingo Hoffman in the 2007 Stock Car Brasil season. Hoover Orsi Pereira Martins (born May 16, 1978 in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul) is a Brazilian race car driver. He began his professional career in 1998 in the European Formula Renault series where he captured fourth place. He returned to South America where he was the South American Formula 3 champion in 1999. 2000 brought him to the United States to compete in Toyota Atlantic where he finished seventh in his rookie season. In 2001, he switched teams to Hylton Motorsports and captured five wins on his way to the championship. However, in 2002, very few opportunities existed to move up to the Champ Car series and Orsi was left without a ride. In 2005, he made his Stock Car Brasil debut and captured three wins and finished third in the championship. In 2006, he split time between Stock Car Brasil where he finished third, but without any wins, and a frustrating partial season in the Cheever Racing Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series Daytona Prototype with teammate Christian Fittipaldi. In 2008, Orsi finished Stock Car championship in the 23rd position, 2008 was the last full-time season of Orsi in the category. After one year without competing in races, Hoover returned on the Trofeo Linea Brasil in 2011; however, he abandoned the category after losing his sponsorship. Orsi also competed in some races of the TC 2000 Championship.
