Daniel Gardano Serra (born 24 February 1984) is a Brazilian auto racing driver. He competes full-time in the Brazilian Stock Car Pro Series and is also a Ferrari factory driver.
Serra won the Stock Car Brasil series three times (2017, 2018 and 2019). He is a two-time 24 Hours of Le Mans GTE Pro class winner, having won in 2017 with Darren Turner and Jonny Adam, while driving for Aston Martin Racing, and again in 2019, with James Calado and Alessandro Pier Guidi, driving for AF Corse.
Career
Son of Formula One racer and three-time Stock Car champion Chico Serra, Serra began karting at the age of fourteen, after receiving permission from his parents. He competed in Formula Renault 2.0 Brazil and Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0; however, a lack of sponsorship brought him back to Brazil. In Stock Car Light, he was the runner-up, opening the doors for him to join the Stock Car Championship. In his debut season driving the Red Bull-Amir Nasr, he scored pole position and finished the Championship in eighth place. In 2009, he joined Red Bull-WA Mattheis. On 20 September 2009, he won for the first time in Stock Car. After joining Eurofarma RC for the 2017 season, Serra won his first Stock Car title, a feat he would repeat in the next season. On the international level, he has competed part time in the FIA World Endurance Championship for Aston Martin Racing and AF Corse, winning the 2017 and 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans.
