Young Portuguese driver, Tiago Monteiro, is not your everyday racing driver.
He did not drag his family around go-karting tracks as a young boy or have
them re-mortgage their house to fund his passion; in fact his first laps
behind the wheel of a race car came at the age of twenty, just for fun. He
won the Porsche Carrera Cup Championship and Rookie of the Year in 1997,
caught the racing bug and has never looked back.
His family were involved in the hotel management business and this too was
set to be Monteiro's destiny but his racing took over, moving straight into
Formula Three the following year and just five years later he was racing in
the Champ Car World Series. In 2004, Monteiro mixed his Nissan World Series
programme with a Minardi testing deal but for 2005, Monteiro gets his break
with Jordan Toyota and could well spring a surprise….
