Bernardo Pinheiro is a Portuguese racing driver who competed in the European Le Mans Series with Team Virage. He came up through junior sports car ranks, notably finishing as runner-up in the 2023 Ligier European Series JS P4 class alongside George King, an early result that pointed toward a future in endurance racing. That prototype background carried through into his subsequent step up to the European Le Mans Series, where he has since built his record.[1]
Across six starts in the European Le Mans Series, Pinheiro has taken two wins and three podium finishes, a productive return that reflects a driver capable of consistent front-running pace with Team Virage. He has not yet claimed a championship, though his 2026 season, which yielded two wins and three podiums across six rounds for a final placing of 68th in the standings, underscores his ability to convert strong performances into results even without a title. Now listed as retired, Pinheiro's career is defined by a modest but meaningful body of work in European sports car competition, anchored by a Racer Rating of 2,642 that places him 1,327th among active drivers.[2]
