Michael Schumacher won the Desafio Internacional das Estrelas kart race for the second time in three years by finishing second in today’s second heat.
Schumacher won the first race in Florianopolis yesterday and came in second today behind Felipe Massa.
Schumacher worked his way up from eighth on the grid, passing Rubens Barrichello and Indy Car racer Vitor Meira before catching Massa.
Massa and Schumacher spent the final two laps nose-to-tail but Schumacher either couldn’t find a way past or decided he didn’t want to deprive Massa of a home win.

Second place was enough to secure the victory for Schumacher. Vitantonio Liuzzi, who finished second yesterday, ended today’s race 11th after contact with Massa and a heavier collision with Lucas Di Grassi.

After the problems(hidraulic - Race 1, carburetor - Race 2), Lucas is thinking about 2010.
"It was the best challenge for me because I had to abandon the race. But this had to happen, because in other years I was always among the first ones. Last year I was runner-up to a point of Rubens. I hope that was the last problem here. Now I'm waiting for next year." - said Lucas.
"The event was great. I have to congratulate to Felipe and all who organized it. I love this competition, to be here among friends and people who loves my sport."
