Career

Son of three-time Stock Car champion Chico Serra, began karting at age 14, after receiving authorization from his parents. He competed in Formula Renault 2.0 Brazil and Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 (the lack of sponsorship brought him back to Brazil). In Stock Car Light, he finished in runner-up, opened the doors for Stock Car. His debut in the Red Bull-Amir Nasr, scored pole position and finished the Championship as the 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, Daniel won his first Stock Car title, a feat he would repeat in the next season. On international level, he has competed part time on the 2017 FIA World Endurance Championship for Aston Martin Racing, winning the 2017 24 Hours of Le Mans. He additionally raced in three races of the 2018–19 WEC season for AF Corse, winning the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans.

gollark: skynet1, if you're curious, is deprecated and I don't run it.
gollark: I was doing this on the server skynet2 runs on, so it might be skynet's fault, who knows.
gollark: Really? Prove it.
gollark: Maybe the autocomplete decided to start an uprising itself?
gollark: It started yesterday after I accidentally typed `systemctl start robot-uprising` into my terminal instead of `systemctl restart caddy`. Stupid autocomplete.
