1983 Brazilian Grand Prix
Pre-Race Report
Entrants
The season opens at Jacarepaguá in Rio de Janeiro. South Africa was the planned opener but was moved to the final round after teams requested time to prepare their cars for the new flat-bottom regulations. Keke Rosberg arrives as defending World Champion.
Three drivers make their Formula One championship debuts this weekend: American Danny Sullivan in a Tyrrell, Italian Corrado Fabi, and motorcycle road-racing World Champion Johnny Cecotto in a Theodore. RAM Racing also makes its championship debut as a constructor. Alfa Romeo enters with the brand-new 890T V8 turbo engine, making its first competitive appearance.
