Brad Benavides is a professional single-seater racing driver competing in Formula 3 for AIX Racing. He holds the 2024 Euroformula Open championship, won with Team Motopark in a single-class field mixing amateurs, semi-professionals and graded professionals. His primary competition in recent seasons has been in the multiclass Formula 3 series, where he has raced across Europe.[1]
Across seven seasons from 2019 to 2026, Benavides has accumulated 108 starts with 10 wins and 20 podiums. The bulk of his success has come in Euroformula Open, where he took 9 wins and 19 podiums from 33 starts; his sole Formula 3 win came from 37 entries for AIX Racing. His season in Formula 2 in 2023, a multiclass championship run across 19 countries, yielded no wins from 18 starts. His earlier work in Formula Renault Eurocup and Formula Regional European saw him accumulate experience but no victories.[2]
In the multiclass Formula 3 field, Benavides typically finishes behind established professionals such as Victor Martins, a two-time Formula Renault Eurocup champion with 81 Formula 2 starts and 38 in Formula 3, and Kush Maini, a Silver-graded driver with 99 Formula 2 starts. His Formula 3 record includes a finish ahead of Oscar Piastri, a generational driver now racing in Formula 1, achieved once across their meetings. Among drivers he has beaten more regularly is Isack Hadjar, an elite professional with 35 Formula 1 starts, whom Benavides finished ahead of seven times.
