Rodrigo Almeida leads Toyota in the fight for the 2026 Supercars Endurance title

Mozambican driver Rodrigo Almeida is preparing for one of the biggest challenges of his career. Confirmed for the 2026 Supercars Endurance Championship season, the young talent joins the Toyota Caetano Portugal structure, with technical support from Sports & You, in an ambitious project that promises to put Mozambique on the path to the Iberian podium.

The partnership with Portuguese driver Francisco Mora promises to be one of the team's trump cards. Combining experience, consistency, and speed, Toyota's new official duo has a clear objective from the first meter on the track: to fight for the title. “The goal is to be competitive from the first race and fight for the championship. We have a strong structure, an experienced team, and a car that has demonstrated great reliability and performance over the years,” says Rodrigo Almeida, underlining his confidence in the project.

The choice fell on a Toyota model recognized for its resilience and consistency — essential qualities in an endurance championship where strategy and the ability to overcome adversity are worth as much as pure speed.

This partnership with Toyota represents a strategic step in Rodrigo Almeida's international career. “Being associated with a global brand like Toyota is a source of pride and a responsibility. We approach this project with ambition and a long-term vision,” reveals the driver, leaving the scope of the commitment unclear.

Meanwhile, the future holds even more surprises for the Mozambican driver. Almeida reveals that new details about his continued partnership with Porsche, a brand with whom he has maintained a successful relationship for two years, will be announced soon. This relationship with two giants of world motorsport solidifies his position as one of the most promising emerging names in Portuguese motorsport.

More than just personal achievements, Rodrigo Almeida's presence in the Supercars Endurance series carries a special symbolic meaning. At every turn, at every pit stop, the Mozambican flag once again waves on the international stage, serving as inspiration for a new generation of young talents who dream of a career beyond national borders.

“I always carry the Mozambican flag with me to every race. My commitment is to give my all on and off the track,” assures the driver, who doesn't forget the fundamental support of his sponsors — Transcrane, Canelfood, Prima Seguros, Fidelidade Ímpar and WalakaSoftware — and also highlights the guidance of driver Tiago Monteiro and the work of the Skywalker team in structuring his career path.

With the new season about to begin, Rodrigo Almeida is intensifying his physical and technical preparation. His goal is to arrive at the first race not just to compete, but to fight for victory and write a new, victorious chapter for Mozambican sport.
