🇵🇹 Rui Andrade

Rui Andrade is a professional endurance racing driver competing in international prototype and GT racing. FIA Silver-graded, he races for TF Sport in the LMGT3 class of the FIA World Endurance Championship and the multiclass European Le Mans Series, where he pilots GT3 and LMP2 machinery shared with teammates across a season still in progress.[1]

Andrade has won two championships in endurance racing: the 2023 WEC LMP2 title with Team WRT and the 2025 European Le Mans Series LMGT3 title with TF Sport. Across seven seasons since 2019, he has taken 63 starts in international and national-level endurance series and single-seater racing, accumulating seven wins and 18 podiums. In WEC alone, his primary series, he has started 35 times for Iron Lynx and taken five wins and 13 podiums. His record in the European Le Mans Series, where he also races for Iron Lynx, stands at two wins from 22 starts. In the 2026 WEC season, now in progress, he currently sits 16th in the championship standings after five rounds.[2]

Andrade races regularly against drivers of established professional standing in graded professional fields. His closest competition comes from Sean Gelael, himself a professional with 80 Formula 2 starts and 43 in WEC, with whom Andrade is closely matched. He has finished ahead of Franco Colapinto, an elite professional who has raced Formula 1, on multiple occasions, and has several times beaten António Félix da Costa, the 2019 Formula E champion and 2022 WEC LMP2 champion, in shared-car endurance racing where results carry the performance of both drivers in the car.
