Flavour Meets Speed: Beira Douro Cafés Renews Partnership with Race Ready

Beira Douro Cafés and Race Ready proudly announce the renewal of their long-standing partnership, reinforcing a collaboration built on shared values, a commitment to excellence, and a passion for what they do.

Founded in 1960 by Manuel Lapa, Beira Douro Cafés is a Portuguese family business with over six decades dedicated to the art of coffee roasting. Based in Vila Nova de Gaia and currently managed by the second and third generations of the Lapa family, the brand stands out for its careful selection of coffee beans from renowned regions such as Brazil, Ethiopia, Colombia, India, Indonesia, El Salvador, and Vietnam. With a wide range of products — from whole beans to capsules compatible with Nespresso® and Dolce Gusto® systems, as well as coffee pods — Beira Douro caters to domestic consumers, offices, and the HORECA sector, always with a firm commitment to quality and innovation.

Race Ready is now an undisputed benchmark in the Iberian motorsport scene. It organises some of the most prestigious classic and modern car competitions and events across the Iberian Peninsula, including the Iberian Historic Endurance, Iberian Supercars, the Campeonato de Portugal de Velocidade, Supercars España, Carrera 80, and Single Seater Series. Throughout 2025, Race Ready will also stage flagship events such as Estoril Classics, Jarama Classic, Estoril Endurance Festival, and the Iberian Racing Festival — this year featuring special editions in Portimão, Jerez de la Frontera, and Valencia. Race Ready’s competitions also extend to iconic circuits like Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium and the Vila Real Street Circuit.

Thanks to this renewed partnership, Beira Douro Cafés will continue to offer an unparalleled coffee experience in the paddocks of Race Ready’s events — with brews that reflect decades of tradition, passion, and excellence. This is more than just coffee; it’s a sensory experience that enhances the vibrant and competitive atmosphere of motorsport.

“At Race Ready, we share the same values as Beira Douro Cafés. We are both companies with a strong and distinct identity, and from the very beginning, our primary goal has been to deliver a product of world-class quality. Race Ready, known for organising top-level motorsport events, provides a platform where passion for motor racing meets culture and flavour. This synergy has led to a partnership that celebrates the best of both worlds, offering participants and spectators memorable moments both on and off the track,” highlights Diogo Ferrão, CEO of Race Ready.

“We are a company that applies rigour across every aspect of our operations — and just as carefully as we select our raw materials, we choose our partners. Being with Race Ready is a chance to take pole position at some of the most iconic events in the world of motorsport. A partnership only makes sense when values, culture, and purpose are aligned, and with Race Ready, we are in perfect harmony. Bringing the finest coffee to the finest races is, for Beira Douro Cafés, a source of immense pride and satisfaction. We are a winning duo,” says João Lapa, Director of Beira Douro Cafés.
