The motorsport world has lost a true champion and visionary, Sylvio de Barros, a renowned Brazilian entrepreneur and accomplished off-road racer, who tragically passed away at the age of 57 during a visit to a waterfall in Jardinópolis, Brazil. Barros had an impressive racing career, competing and winning in both pavement and off-road disciplines, including the prestigious Dakar Rally, where he made his debut in 2007 and later returned in 2017, finishing 18th overall.
