This year drivers and riders posed for pictures under the new Race Control Tower of the Guia Circuit, that was built in the latest months and replaced the previous building that dated back to 1993.

Between the end of the current year and the beginning of 2014, the whole Grand Prix building that includes garages, offices and the media centre will be demolished and a new one will be erected in time for next year’s event.

All the drivers were much impressed by the new Race Control facilities.
