De Cabral was Portugal's outstanding driver of the late fifties, and acquitted himself well in his first two Grand Prix outings. He did not pursue a full-time racing career but appeared in the 1961 Pau GP, finishing in fourth place for Centro Sud, before National Service (as a paratrooper in Angola) took priority.

He managed to return to Formula 1 in 1963 with Centro Sud and made the grid for the 1964 Italian GP in the reworked but no less unsuccessful Derrington-Francis ATS. However, Mario was seriously injured when he crashed in the 1965 F2 Rouen GP, resulting in a three-year absence from the circuits.

On his return in 1968 de Cabral raced a variety of sports cars through to 1975, including David Piper's Porsche 917, in which he finished second at Villa Real in 1971. In 1973 he hired a works March for the F2 Estoril GP and performed very creditably to finish eighth on aggregate.
