🏳️ Arthur Nogueira Ortolani

Arthur Nogueira Ortolani is a competitive amateur driver with a rating of 2,520, placing him in the club racing band; this represents a driver racing at regional level in fields that do not typically include full professionals, or in the early stages of competition before establishing a sustained record. His career on record consists of a single start in the 2012 SKUSA SuperNationals, where he finished outside the points.[1]

Ortolani's brief racing record is notable for one isolated result: he finished ahead of Max Verstappen, who would go on to become a four-time Formula 1 world champion and one of the sport's elite drivers. Ben Hanley, an FIA Gold graded professional and 2023 IMSA WeatherTech LMP2 champion, also finished behind him on that occasion. These results represent single races in a kart field rather than a pattern of competitive superiority, and Ortolani's average finishing position of 18th across his classified start reflects his standing among the competitors he faced. He has since retired from racing.
