THE TEAM
The PR1ME DRIVER MANAGEMENT team is made up of professionals from different areas who have established themselves in their sectors, which ensures that the pilots’ career is designed and managed in order to achieve the most ambitious goals.
Álvaro Parente was one of the most promising drivers at the international level, having been very close to ascending to Formula 1.
Along the way, he won the title of British Formula 3 Champion in 2005, and World Series by Renault Champion in 2006, which allowed him to test for the Renault Formula 1 team, having had very competitive times against Fernando Alonso. He is also the only Portuguese driver to win races in the GP2 Series, the predecessor of the FIA Formula 2 Championship.
Currently, Álvaro Parente is one of the most acclaimed drivers in the GT world, with wins at the Bathurst 12 Hours in 2016, and titles at the International GT Open in 2015 and the Pirelli World Challenge in 2016. This path allows him to have a clear and precise idea of what a driver needs in order to be able to impose himself in different types of racing cars. In addition, throughout his career he gathered a set of contacts that make a difference.
Ricardo Teixeira led a sustained career in the world of single seaters, going through the British Formula 3 Championship and GP2 Series until he reached the role of test driver for the Formula 1 team Caterham F1 Team.
Passing through the most important competitions for access to the top category of motor sport, Ricardo Teixeira created a network of relevant contacts for any driver who wishes to succeed in motorsport, being today one of those responsible for the Paddock Club of the Formula 1 World Championship, the which gives you direct access to the Formula 1, Formula 2, Formula 3, Formula Regional by Alpine and W Series teams.
His knowledge of driving and his contacts in the world of motorsport allow him to leverage young drivers for international careers at the highest level.
Sérgio Fonseca first started in motorsports as a journalist, contributing for media publications both in Portugal and in Macau. In the past few years, he has been involved in racing careers, teams, media relations and event management in Europe and Asia, having a deep understanding of the organization of the motorsport structures. His network of contacts in China and Southeast Asia is an important asset to the PR1ME team.

At the same time, he is a founding partner of ComSegue, a company dedicated to press relations and that in the last decade has worked with several successful Portuguese pilots, such as Álvaro Parente, Henrique Chaves, Miguel Cristóvão, Fábio Mota, Miguel Barbosa, Manuel Gião or Francisco Abreu.
