Career

[edit]

Reis began his racing career at the age of 14 by participating in kart races.[2] He took a break from motorsports and returned to racing in 2016.

In that year, Reis competed in his first racing car event, the Paraná Dirty Race Championship,[3] in the Turismo 1,600 Injected category, where he secured only three points. He then participated in touring races in 2017 and 2018 to prepare for the Cascavel de Ouro,[4] a renowned Brazilian motorsport race. He teamed up with Lucas Bornemann and finished the race in 24th place, gaining 29 positions during the three-hour race.[5]

Over the next few years, Reis participated in various categories of Brazilian motorsport, including finishing second in the 2019 Turismo Nacional championship,[6] competing in the 2020 Copa HB20 championship,[7] and earning victories[8] in the Porsche Cup in his hometown in 2021.[9] He also joined experienced driver Sérgio Jimenez in endurance races of Porsche Cup.[10] Secured a 2nd place in the Interlagos race[11][12] and a victory in Rivera, Uruguay, in the 2022 TCR South America Championship, however, his season ended prematurely due to a severe accident that left him with two broken ribs and a labyrinth problem, requiring several months of recovery[13]

In 2023, Reis made his debut in the AM division of NASCAR Brasil[2] and secured two fifth positions in the first races held in Goiânia[14] and finish second twice in the Interlagos racing[15]
