Ricardo Teixeira tested a Lotus F1 car last week.

There are three Angolan racing drivers at the moment.

Who were there in the past? In the Angolan-Threads here Alvaro Lopes and Maximo Correira were mentioned. But were there no more?
Were there any formula races (Angolan GP was sports car) or formula racing cars from Angola?

I know Juan Barazi's money came from Angolean ventures and that he at one point lived in Luanda. What I don't know is if he raced on a Danish, English or Angolan license. I seem to remember some of his cars sported the Angolan flag.

There was a driver in the early 1970's named Antonio Peixinho - does this name ring a bell?
