- ü 26 years old Alexandre Pinto started racing the Portuguese off-road championship back in 2021 without any family member being involved in motorsport.
- But that doesn’t seem to have hindered his progress and since then he has finished 4 times on the championship’s podium.
- In 2024 Alexandre broadened his horizons by entering the European Baja Cup. It turned out to be a good move as he finished 2nd in his category.
- In preparation for the 2025 Dakar he also entered the Rallye du Maroc where he finished Best Rookie and second T4 as well as winning the Road to Dakar category.
- A chance Alexandre and Bernardo didn’t waste, finishing 3rd in class on their very first attempt.
- That result brought them the chance to race the remaining rounds of the W2RC championship and saw them crowned SSV champions before the last round!
- Following the 2026 Dakar, Old Friends Rally and Pinto decided to move up to the next level. Driving a Taurus from the Odyssey by BBR team, the reigning SSV champion simply won four out of five stages and secured his first victory in the Challenger class.
