Karting

2022

Having been announced as one of the fifteen drivers set to compete in the inaugural season of the F4 Brazilian Championship, Monteiro was confirmed to be joining TMG Racing following a draw which decided the team and driver combinations. [6] Finishing second in the season-opener, [7] Monteiro finished third in all three races of the second Interlagos round, on his way to eighth in the standings at season's end. [8]

During 2022, Monteiro also competed in two rounds of the Italian F4 Championship for Cram Motorsport, scoring a best result of 26th in race two at Vallelunga. [9]

2023

In 2023, Monteiro joined NeoTech Motorsport's single car-operation in the USF Pro 2000 Championship, [10] with technical support from TJ Speed Motorsports. [11] Scoring a best result of eleventh twice, at Toronto, [12] Monteiro joined TJ Speed Motorsports for the final round at Portland. [13] Following a crash in race one, Monteiro was unable to compete for the rest of the weekend and ended his maiden season in USF Pro 2000 nineteenth in points. [14]

2024

Monteiro joined DEForce Racing in late 2023 for his sophomore season in the USF Pro 2000 Championship alongside Mac Clark and Jorge Garciarce. [15] Taking a best result of seventh in race two at Toronto, Monteiro ended the season thirteenth in points after collecting four more top-ten finishes. [16]

Alongside his commitments in USF Pro 2000, Monteiro competed in the second season of the NASCAR Brasil Sprint Race series in the Challenge class. [17] On a part-time schedule, Monteiro scored a lone class win at Autodromo Potenza. [18]

2025

In early 2025, Monteiro made his debut in Formula Regional machinery, joining mtec Motorsport to compete in the Formula Regional Oceania Championship. [19] At the final round of the season at Highlands Motorsport Park, Monteiro scored his only podium of the season, finishing second in the reverse-grid race behind Nikita Johnson. [20]

Following his trip in New Zealand, Monteiro returned for a third season in the USF Pro 2000 Championship for DEForce Racing alongside Jorge Garciarce as the team scaled back to two cars. [21] After scoring just two top 10s in the first two rounds, Monteiro switched to Turn 3 Motorsport, driving the No. 22 entry, previously driven by Elliot Cox. [22] In the following five rounds Monteiro scored a best result of sixth six times, en route to a 10th-place points finish despite missing the final round at Portland. [23]

Monteiro also returned to the newly-rebranded NASCAR Brasil Series for 2025, joining MX Vogel for his sophomore season in the series. [24]
