Racing Driver
ABOUT
Rafa was born in São Paulo, Brazil, on 10/02/1999.
The passion for the sport started to grow from a very early age, when he was only 10 months old, always encouraged by his parents, who were always lovers of the sport.
He started his career in Brazil, at the age of 6 and since then, he continues to struggle to reach his goal of reaching the main categories of motorsport.
After a few years of running in international categories, Rafa is back and dedicates himself to his debut in the Stock Light category in 2020.
