Interview

“Getting to the finish will be a bonus”

It will be Joao and Luis’ first time on the Dakar and Joao’s first time in the dunes, but they have plenty of competition experience behind them. In addition to being two times Portugues SSV national champion, Joao is a test driver for South Racing and went to have a look at the Dakar in 2023, as he was with the team as tire manager. In ‘real life’ he has a multi-marque car dealership and is married with a one and a half year old son.


Joao Monteiro: “Getting to the start is already a victory for us. Getting to the finish will be a bonus. I think the first time on the Dakar you don’t need to think about your classification. I am glad I was able to go on the Dakar with the team in 2023 because now I know what to expect. The first time you see a Dakar bivouac it is a bit of a shock! Although myself and Luis have been racing together for a long time, and have had some good results in domestic races, we lack experience in the dunes. Luis was one time at the Rallye du Maroc but that’s it. So we’ll be learning together.”
