The Brazil World Rally Team has young Brazilian driver Daniel Oliveira along with his Portuguese co-driver Carlos Magalhães.

The country held two WRC events before in 1981 and 1982, won by Ari Vatanen and Michèle Mouton respectively.

There have also been very few Brazilian rally drivers that have had any success, so Daniel Oliveira is considered a promise.

The Brazil World Rally Team started receiving technical and operational support from Prodrive in the United Kingdom, who develop the Mini WRC and S2000 cars, with respected team manager Paul Howarth and engineer Nick Navas heavily involved in the project.

Brazil World Rally Team's president, Frank Allison Maciel, and manager, Paul Handal, also performed key roles.
