Career
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Bueno started his karting career in 1988 and won the São Paulo states championship in 1992.
His father, Galvão Bueno is a Brazilian sports commentator, very famous in Brazil as the former host of the Formula One races, National football team matches and key Brazilian football matches, and friend with Brazilian sport stars. Therefore, Bueno grew up near Brazilian sports idols such as Ayrton Senna.
Although Formula One champion Senna was his idol, Bueno preferred touring car racing and debuted to Stock Car Brasil in 2002. He finished third in his first championship and became vice-champion for three consecutive years (2003–2005).
Bueno won the Stock Car Brasil championship in 2006 at last and became double-champion in 2007. He won the championship again in 2009, 2011 and 2012.
Bueno also has competed in the TC2000, an Argentine touring car series, and ended the 2001 season in third place. In recent years, he competed in the 2007 season in parallel with Stock Car Brasil.
Bueno made his World Touring Car Championship debut for Chevrolet at Brands Hatch. He retired from the first race due to an engine fire, which also stopped him from starting the second race.
In August 2010, Bueno ran a Chevrolet Vectra on the Bonneville Salt Flats at speeds over 340 km/h (~210 mph).
