The Racing Factory is a Portuguese company born in 2018, entirely dedicated to motorsport, based in S. Paio de Oleiros, in the municipality of Santa Maria da Feira, Portugal.
With a strong and cohesive human resources structure, in constant training and development which combines the experience of some with the youth of others, we have a working group that every day strives to execute and achieve the objectives of our costumers and outlined growth strategies.
On our active debut year, in 2019 we entered and ended the season winning, becoming the winners by teams, in the National All-Terrain Championship/SSV. Following our own goals, we also marked right away our presence internationally in the Peugeot Rally Cup Iberica, and in FIA ERC Championship with the development of FPAK Portugal ERC Team, the Portuguese representative team in the FIA ERC, conquering the 3rd final position among the European "teams".
At the beginning of 2020, we inaugurated the TRF facilities, which were purpose-built to welcome the team and serve the needs of our customers and workers with quality. These structures have been catching the attention of all those who visit us since the beginning.
For The Racing Factory, the main objective is to give its customers and drivers a premium service, complete and suited to the demands of today's motorsport. In a short period, we have already achieved several titles, including the Portuguese Rally Championship (2020) and the Madeira Rally Championship (2020), thus reaffirming the quality and professionalism of our services.
We want to be a reference in this area that has so much to explore. With our eyes set on a solid and sustained growth strategy and a winning spirit, our company intends to be present not only in the various current modalities, Rallyes, Off-Road, Circuits, but also to be prepared and actively follow the changes and challenges that the future of motorsport will bring us.
We know we can help you. Contact us.

CEO
Aloísio Monteiro is one of the founders and the CEO of The Racing Factory.
His life has two fundamental bases: Porto and Detroit, where he dedicates himself body and soul to his family and to the business portfolio he leads, where he is a manager.
He graduated in Finance and has a Master Degree in International Business.
His professional and sporting careers already boast a track record of exceptional national and international importance, highlighting his immense global experience as a top manager in the automotive industry, and the enormous capacity to undertake and lead projects and teams.
Multi-faceted as he is, Aloísio Monteiro has always assumed the boldness of the initiative and the capacity to always be a preponderant element in the well-being and success of the teams he integrates, focusing the core of the organisations on the well-being and motivation of people, as factors that lead to consolidated success.
He combines his successful trajectory in the industry with his love for motorsports. His connection to the world of motorsport came early on, with connections to motorcycling, rallycross, off-road, and rallies.
In 2008, he participated in six rallies, as co-driver of Manuel Inácio in a Citroen C2 GT, spending the following year navigating Miguel Campos in a Renault Clio R3, a driver with whom he continued to work with in 2010 in a Ford Fiesta S2000 and became National Co-driver Champion. The year 2015 marks the move to the steering wheel of a rally car, where Aloísio Monteiro, navigated by Sancho Eiró, took part in three races driving the Renault Clio R3.
In 2016 he started his first cross-border experience, competing in the Clio R3T Iberian Trophy, where, the following year, he became Vice-Champion.
In 2018, at the wheel of a Škoda Fabia R5, he ventureson his first experience in the European Rally Championship, where he remains until today, already at the wheel of a Škoda Fabia R5 Evo.
Always connected to several teams where, besides preparing his annual sports career, he has always supported other outstanding drivers. Soon he started to idealize and conceptualize the project that would take him to a higher level in what is one of his greatest motivations: helping drivers reach the glory of victory and titles!
This long and true journey has become the genesis of a dream and a reality: The Racing Factory.
"And this is no longer just a structure of competition. It's a Factory of Champions in its own right!"
JUSTINO REIS
COO/Team Manager
Justino Reis is one of the founders and the COO/Team Leader of The Racing Factory.
He was born in Póvoa de Varzim, with formation in Marketing and Communication.
It can be said that since his adolescence, when he could start getting involved and performing many active tasks in motorsport, there has not been a single moment in his life, where automotive world in general and motorsport in particular, were not associated with himself.
From the escapes of school days to follow the Rallye Sopete and the Rallye de Portugal to the first ‘official’ activities as track marshall at the notable Vila do Conde circuit, to the numerous races as rally co-driver for over 20 years, he never stopped trying to contribute positively to the development of the Portuguese motorsport and follow his passion with the ambition to always be as closely connected as possible to the competition.
After years connected to various professional areas usually associated with the automobile area, since 2012 his professional activity has focused on the execution of activities 100% performed in this area, as rallies co-driver or performing functions in various sports projects and national and international teams, particularly in the area of Team Operations, Project Management and Development, Drivers Advice, Team Coordination, Image and Communication Consulting, etc ..., in several motorsport disciplines.
The year 2018 marked a significant change in his professional life with the privilege of founding and integrating the start-up and development of something totally new, with the opportunity to be involved and support in the development and growth from the root, from the project to the birth of a totally new motorsport team.
In The Racing Factory project, idealized by Aloísio Monteiro, it was clear from the beginning they shared similar views about the pillars and essential strategies for the project, one of them, if not the main one, the common ambition of helping young Portuguese drivers to achieve national and international successful careers.
With a clear vision acquired from experience, Justino Reis knows perfectly well that the success of motorsport is based on the marketing strategy of car manufacturers vs. victories vs. the public's passion, and we cannot ignore that we have to be aligned with the challenges that mobility and the automotive world will present us. With a world that will be permanently in evolution, Justino defends that we have to have in our daily lives values and visions that allow The Racing Factory to follow successful paths in the present and the future, and be faithful to its motto: Your Race, Our Passion!
