Pedro Perino
Pedro Alexandre Martins Perino is a Portuguese-Mozambican racing driver who last competed for Inter Europol Competition in the European Le Mans Series.
Early career
Having tested Formula 4 machinery in Cremona at the back end of 2020, Perino would make his car racing debut, driving for DR Formula RP Motorsport in the final round of the Italian F4 Championship. Perino completed further F4 tests in December in preparation for a full assault of the Italian series. That year, he also competed in karting, driving for KR Motorsport in the OK category of the European and World championships.The following season, Perino remained with DR Formula to race in Italian F4 on a full-time basis. However, a disappointing first half of the season led to a switch to the race-winning US Racing outfit, with whom Perino would score a best finish of tenth at the Red Bull Ring.
Perino returned to US Racing for the 2022 season, where he partnered Alex Dunne, Kacper Sztuka, Nikhil Bohra and Marcus Amand. One points finish, a sixth place during Race 1 in Monza, was all Perino could muster up, becoming the first African driver ever to score points, and which also left him 19th in the standings out of the mega 55 drivers grid.
Sportscar career
For 2023, Perino joined DKR Engineering in the LMP3 class of the European Le Mans Series for his first venture into endurance racing. With two podiums at the end of the year, Perino and his teammates — experienced prototype competitor James Winslow and bronze-ranked Alexander Bukhantsov — ended up sixth in the standings.For 2024, Perino and Bukhantsov moved to Inter Europol Competition in order to partner Kai Askey.
