Formula Two Codasur, or South American Formula Two Championship, was a Formula Two championship organized by the (CODASUR) held in South America between 1983 and 1986. This series only had one champion in its four championships: Guillermo Maldonado (Berta-Volkswagen).[1]
CODASUR decided to unify the national Formula Two championships of Argentina (which was already about 20 years old[2]) and Brazil (created in 1980), and thus the South American championship was born in 1983, which visited circuits in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and other countries.[3][4] In 1982, two test events were held in Tarumã (Brazil) and Buenos Aires. This series was replaced in 1987 by the South American Formula Three, introducing exported chassis.[3]
The cars were local chassis, equipped with engines from different manufacturers, for example Volkswagen and Renault.[3] The most successful chassis were those of the Argentine engineer . Maldonado won all championships with Berta chassis equipped with 1800 cc L4 engines based on the Volkswagen 1500 (Hillman Avenger) engine.[3]
