In the first year, Bueno won the runner-up spot in the Special Edition and fourth place in the Overall Trophy, results that reflected the team’s evolution, especially in the second half of the year.
“We had a great season; obviously, in terms of points, we scored much more in the second half. We fell short, perhaps, with me getting involved in some accidents and the team not knowing the car as well — we had some breakdowns. We are already more aligned and the new car will certainly help with the breakdown issue as well,” he stated.

For Bueno, staying at Team RC was a natural desire. “It’s a team where I’ve already been a Stock Car and Endurance champion, so I know the members very well and I know their technical capacity. Regardless of whether we won the last championship, it was where I wanted to be and I’m very happy with the renewal,” he said.
The new season will also bring the NASCAR Brasil RiSE26, a lighter car with improvements in technology, finish, and performance. “It’s a step forward that the category is taking in technology, finish, and quality; lighter, the car will also be faster,” the driver commented.
