Fernando Rees (born: January 4, 1985 in São Paulo, Brazil) is a Brazilian racecar driver. He started his career in motor racing at age 8, and most recently competed in the World Series by Renault championship. Rees has 13 years of racing experience and is a quick driver capable of competing well in today's advanced race cars. In early 2006, at the Italian circuit of Monza, Fernando was unfortunately involved in a shunt during a Formula 3000 International Masters test day, under heavy rain, and was injured.[1] As a consequence, Rees was away from motor racing for 18 months. With his convalescence complete, Fernando made his sportscar debut in the last Le Mans Series event of 2007, the Mil Milhas of Interlagos.[2] Racing for Larbre Compétition with an Aston Martin DBR9, together with drivers Roland Berville, Gregor Fisken and Steve Zacchia, Fernando took a clear win in the GT1 class after almost nine hours of racing.[3]
