Carried out through the Sports Incentive Law, with support from the Ministry of Sports, the partnership focuses on encouraging Brazilian sports and supporting the training of young talents at a decisive stage of their careers, when institutional support is fundamental for consolidation in high performance.
Rafael Câmara is the current FIA Formula 3 (F3) champion and was elected “Rookie of the Year” by the International Automobile Federation (FIA). The athlete is currently part of the Ferrari Driver Academy. In the same season, he stood out by becoming the first driver in F3 and Formula 1 feeder categories to compete with carbon neutralization, reinforcing a commitment to sustainability, one of the contemporary challenges of the sport and the industry.
In 2026, the Brazilian takes a new step in his career by competing in Formula 2 (F2) for Invicta Racing, consolidating his path towards the elite of world motorsport, in line with the recent trajectory of other young Brazilian talents in the sport.
“This support comes at a very important moment in my career. It is when every opportunity makes a difference so that I can continue evolving and competing at a high level. Having a company like Transpetro in this process reinforces confidence and focus on the next challenges,” says Rafael Câmara.

Shared values
Transpetro’s entry as a sponsor reinforces shared values between the sport and the activity of transporting products in the energy segment, such as safety, efficiency, innovation, and socio-environmental responsibility, essential pillars for both high performance on the tracks and highly complex logistical operations.
“Transpetro is a supporter of Brazilian sports. We sponsor amateur sports projects across the country and, now, we will also encourage high performance, because Rafa Câmara’s trajectory is aligned with Transpetro’s values. Supporting a young Brazilian who stands out on the national and international scene and who can reach Formula 1 is a source of pride for the company,” says Transpetro president, Sérgio Bacci.
Sports sponsorship is part of Transpetro’s strategy to support initiatives aimed at valuing sports, human development, and talent formation, recognizing the role of sports as an agent of social transformation and inspiration for new generations.
