Former F1 driver Antonio 'Jungle Boy' Pizzonia set the best lap in the first free practice for the International Challenge of Go-Kart Champs, the race promoted by Felipe Massa that has once again attracted a huge number of top class drivers from various series to Florianopolis, Brazil.

Pizzonia stopped the clocks at 56.814 ion the 1.207m track last night, beating, by just 0.139s his Brazilian Stock Car associate Thiago Camilo.

The pair were closely followed by Super GT Japan ace Joao Paulo Oliveira and Indycar frontrunner Vítor Meira, while Massa fought hard to grab the fifth spot, just 11-thousandth faster than Lucas di Grassi.

Local hero Leonardo Nienkotter, a Trofeo Linea regular who finished 8th on the timesheets, was the best among an impressive list of newcomers that includes three-times Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves, Toro Rosso's Jaime Alguersuari, Bruno Senna and GP2 Series' Alberto Valerio.

The 27 drivers will be back to action this afternoon for another free practice before the qualifying sessions scheduled for early evening.
