How It All Started
For as long as I can remember, I have been very close to karting and motorsports. My father has always rraced, with my mother and sister always accompanying him to karting events. My grandfather also raced go-karts.
This is my first memory, in a kart, my father's Puffo, where I sat behind the wheel for the first time. As you can see from my expression, I'm happy. My excitement was great at this moment and my posture already shows the desire to drive a kart. At this point I was still a little baby, I had to wait a little longer to really start accelerating and competing.
"Maybe, kart, it was one of my first words"
In practical terms, I started karting in Évora, in 2017, at the time with Mr. Fernando Cabo, in our family's Puffo. This was when I had just turned four years old. The images you see below are from my test in the Puffo.
At the end of that same day, my father walked alongside me on the track, with a rental kart. The next day, for the first time, I walked alone on the track. From then on, I would sometimes go to Évora, or to a model airplane track in Granja do Marquês, close to my parents' work. Many times, I also went for a ride at the Kartódromo Internacional de Palmela.
