Rui Andrade is currently the only Angolan in the world competing in sports cars, and the first driver to fly the Angolan flag at Le Mans. Rui joined Bullet at the early stages of his single-seater career and progressed under our guidance to become an all-round sports car driver. In his maiden LMP2 season, he took 2 wins, nine podiums and won the European Championship. In 2022, he took it up a notch, running a double campaign in the FIA World Endurance Championship and in the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup and scored his first win on World Championship level, won Petit Le Mans in LMP2 and became Vice Champion in the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup. In 2023, he delivered an impeccable season, dominating the LMP2 class in FIA WEC with Team WRT, claiming 6 podiums out of 7 races, including 3 wins and a 2nd place finish at Le Mans and won the World Championship. In 2024, he switched to LMGT3 cars and in only his second season in the new machinery, he claimed his maiden FIA WEC WIN and the ELMS championship in LMGT3.
