João Vergara is an entry-level professional competing in American single-seater racing. He drives for VRD Racing in the USF2000 Championship, where he is currently seventh in the standings through 16 rounds of the 2026 season. The Brazilian entered indexed racing in 2024 with USF Juniors, where he took two wins and six podiums over 32 starts before moving up to USF2000 in 2026.[1]
His record so far spans two series and three seasons. In USF Juniors he was competitive enough to win twice and finish on the podium in nearly a quarter of his starts. The step to USF2000 in 2026 has been a tougher field; he has taken three podiums from 16 races to date and sits mid-field in the championship as the season continues.[2]
Vergara races regularly against Leonardo Escorpioni, the 2025 USF Juniors champion, and Patricio Gonzalez, both entry-level professionals with similar experience across the junior American single-seater ladder. He has also finished ahead of Sebastian Wheldon and Jack Jeffers, the reigning USF2000 champion, multiple times, showing he can run with stronger drivers in individual races despite his current mid-field championship position.
