After ten busy days of television interviews, meetings and promotional visits in Brazil, Bruno returned to Utah for a fundraising dinner before flying to Japan to meet B-Max Racing and mold his new seat.
In São Paulo, he appeared on Fox Sports Brasil, met potential sponsors and visited the Ayrton Senna Institute. At SID Special Paint he met Alan and Stella Mosca, who prepared his 2018 Arai helmets, and spoke with Brazilian television about the season ahead.
Another highlight was the chance to drive at Interlagos. Former Formula 1 driver Wilson Fittipaldi invited Bruno to sample a Formula Vee, followed by laps in a 1978 Chevrolet Opala stock car.
Days later he was at B-Max Racing headquarters in Japan, completing the seat fitting for the Rodizio Grill-backed Dallara F317 Volkswagen and beginning work with his new team.
