🇮🇹 Matías Zagazeta

Matías Zagazeta is a professional-level driver competing in sportscar racing, rated 4,160. This rating places him in the professional band; he holds an FIA Silver grading in GT and endurance racing, which denotes a professional-standard driver, typically early in a sportscar career. Across 128 starts over eight seasons, Zagazeta has won four races and taken 12 podiums, though these achievements are concentrated in junior single-seater racing rather than his current focus. His average finishing position of P15 across all starts reflects a career spent largely mid-field in competitive fields.[1]

Zagazeta's record in single-seaters shows a typical progression through feeder categories with limited success at higher tiers. In British F4 during 2020 and 2021, he scored all four of his career wins and eight podiums across 49 starts, establishing himself as a front-runner in that category. However, his move through Formula Regional European in 2022 and 2023 yielded no wins or podiums in 37 starts, and his transition to Formula 3 in 2024 and 2025 produced only a single podium across 38 entries. Against his most frequent rivals in these series, notably Roman Bilinski and Laurens Van Hoepen (both professional-level drivers with substantially higher ratings), Zagazeta has posted losing records, finishing behind them in the majority of their shared races. He has occasionally outqualified and beaten much stronger drivers in isolated results; he has a single win each over FIA Platinum-graded professionals Arvid Lindblad and Franco Colapinto, and over championship-winner Lance Stroll, though these instances do not reflect a pattern of competitive advantage.[2]

Zagazeta has moved into GT racing with AF Corse in GT World Challenge Europe in 2026, competing in the professional sportscar sphere where his Silver grading applies. With three starts recorded in that series and continuing activity, he remains early in that transition from single-seater racing to endurance competition.
