About Us
The Founder and the Team
NEWIMAGE SA, owner of the DRIVEXPLORE® brand, was founded by the Portuguese racing driver Ricardo Leal dos Santos.
He distinguished himself several times in numerous off-road races and championships, including 10 participations in the Dakar Rally.
The launch of this project follows the success of dozens of exclusive all-terrain expeditions, organized and led by himself, in destinations such as Brazil, Dubai, and Morocco.
To form the team, several individuals with extensive experience in off-road competition, as well as in organizing premium expeditions, were chosen.
