TAURUS

G.G.

• The Red Bull Off-Road Junior team has enjoyed phenomenal success with four drivers from their first wave of recruitment: Seth Quintero, Cristina Gutiérrez, Mitch Guthrie Jr. and Guillaume de Mévius all finding places in factory T1+ cars for the 2025 Dakar.
• Success that required Red Bull to replenish their ranks with fresh talent – including super-fast Portuguese youngster Gonçalo Guerreiro.
• Gonçalo was born into a racing family with his (very proud) dad being the owner of JB Racing, a Portuguese outfit making chassis and parts of racing SSV.
• Despite his young age, the 24-year-old has built a fearsome reputation in his homeland, helped by victory in the SSV class at the 2022 Portuguese Cross-Country Championship plus three Baja Portalegre 500 wins.
• Guerreiro tasted further SSV glory earlier this year at the Baja España Aragon before being invited to race the Challenger class at the Baja Morocco. It was Guerreiro’s first time racing in the desert and his first time inside the Taurus T3 Max but he more than rose to the challenge, putting his new car on the podium.
• When he's not driving or working, he's home practicing on his driving simulator.
