Daniel Serra grew up in Brazil and, like many drivers of his generation, found his way into motorsport through karting. His talent showed early in the domestic junior system, which traditionally serves as a springboard for international careers. From local kart tracks, he worked his way systematically through Brazilian junior formula series, gaining the experience that later enabled his transition to more competitive GT and prototype classes.
His path took him through various national and international formula series before he increasingly turned his attention to GT3 racing. This move proved formative for his subsequent career, as he established himself as a consistent and quick driver in the GT categories. The transition from formula classes to the sports car sector ultimately opened the door to the FIA WEC, where he made a name for himself as a works driver in a renowned program.
Among his greatest career achievements to date is his long-standing involvement in the FIA WEC, where he competed repeatedly at the front of the GTE class as part of the Ferrari customer program. His commitment to the AF Corse team in particular brought him podium finishes and class victories over several seasons at prestigious endurance races, including appearances at the Le Mans 24-Hour Race, which is considered the highlight of the season for every sports car driver. These successes solidified his reputation as a reliable and experienced GT specialist in international endurance racing.
In the 2026 season, Daniel Serra continues to compete in the FIA WEC, representing his team in the GT category and starting alongside an experienced teammate. The goal of the campaign is to build on the consistent performances of recent years and position himself once again in the fight for class victories and championship points. With his experience and technical understanding of GT3 machinery, Serra remains one of the drivers his team can rely on in the new season.
