Career
He was entered for the 1958 Portuguese Grand Prix but he was not present during the weekend. He was responsible for organizing the event. In 1937, he gained some attention by beating Tazio Nuvolari and Rudolf Hasse in a race at the Circuit International de Vila Real.
He qualified last and eventually after a long race, finished 5th.
The Second World War then stopped his racing career, like most drivers of that era. After the war, he raced in sport cars, and finished second in the 1952 Portuguese Grand Prix.
In 1958, he rented a Maserati 250F and was entered for the Portuguese Grand Prix. He failed a test run on the bumpy and dangerous Circuito da Boavista and withdrew from the event.
He then decided to hang up his helmet for good.
He died in Porto in 1970 at the age of 63.
