Renato Moicano also shared his hilarious reaction after losing a race to his head coach at the Grand Prix Plaza.

Moicano and his head coach, Marcos Da Matta, took their driving skills to the test on the track and competed in a kart race that saw Da Matta best his pupil. The former lightweight title challenger mentioned that the reason he lost was because his coach was much smaller, while he is a lot bigger and muscular, which resulted in a slow kart:

"You know why [Da Matta] is better? Because he's smaller, so that means that he can go faster. When a guy is very tall and muscular like me, a real athlete, a real specimen, you know sometimes you go a little bit slow. But, it is what it is." [1:06]
