Francesco Dracone is a semi-professional driver competing in endurance racing and single-seater open-wheel racing. He is FIA Silver-graded, a tier below established professionals in sportscar racing, and holds a rating of 4,122. His career spans two distinct campaigns across the European Le Mans Series, where he races LMP2 prototypes for BHK Motorsport, and IndyCar, where he competed as a solo driver in the United States.[1]
Dracone's indexed racing career runs from 2010 to 2022 across 18 starts. He began in IndyCar with seven appearances between 2010 and 2015, finishing 28th in the 2015 championship standings after five rounds raced that season; three of his seven IndyCar starts were on ovals, the rest on road or street courses. He turned to European Le Mans Series competition afterward, making eleven starts for BHK Motorsport in the LMP2 class across 2021 and 2022 in a multiclass endurance grid that includes amateur through professional-level drivers.[2]
His most notable achievements came against established professionals in both series. He finished ahead of Bertrand Baguette, an elite professional and multiple-time champion including the 2022 Super GT title, once; he also beat Dan Wheldon, the 2005 IndyCar champion, in a single meeting. Against his regular opponents in European Le Mans Series, including FIA Gold-graded Yifei Ye, the 2021 LMP2 champion, and FIA Silver professional Julien Canal, a two-time WEC LMP2 champion, Dracone typically finished behind them.
