Luis Pereira Bueno was one of Brazil’s prominent racers during the 60’s and 70’s, and a contemporary of the Fittipaldi brothers and Carlos Pace. He raced successfully in Europe, in F Ford during 1969, winning many races, but considered himself too old to pursue an international career further.  He went back to Brazil, continuing his winning ways in sports cars and touring cars, and managed a berth in the inaugural, non championship Brazilian GP of 1972. In this car, a March, he finished 6th. For the next year, Bueno scrapped enough of a budget to rent one of Surtees’ year old cars. In his single world championship entry he did not disgrace himself. He qualified last, but soldiered on to finish 12th. He continued racing in Brazil until 1975, briefly returning to race in the Stock Cars series in the 80s.
