Hoover Orsi Pereira Martins (born May 16, 1978, in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul) is a Brazilian professional racing driver whose career has included participation in various international competitions. He launched his professional journey in 1998 by competing in the European Formula Renault series, where he secured a 4th place finish. Returning to South America the following year, he clinched the South American Formula 3 championship title in 1999.

In 2000, Orsi relocated to the United States to race in the Toyota Atlantic series, concluding his debut season in 7th position. The next year, driving for Hylton Motorsports, he achieved five victories and won the championship. However, despite this accomplishment, he faced a scarcity of opportunities to progress to the Champ Car series in 2002, resulting in no available seat.

Orsi made his first appearance in Stock Car Brasil in 2005, where he recorded three wins and finished third overall. In 2006, he divided his racing commitments between Stock Car Brasil—ending the season third without any wins—and a partial campaign in the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series Daytona Prototype category with Cheever Racing, partnering with teammate Christian Fittipaldi. His final full season in Stock Car Brasil took place in 2008, finishing 23rd in the standings.

After a hiatus of one year, Orsi returned to competition in 2011 by entering the Trofeo Linea Brasil, though he withdrew due to sponsorship challenges. He also participated intermittently in the TC 2000 Championship during this period.
