Sebastian Saavedra is a Colombian racing driver from Bogota who competed in Indy NXT with AFS Racing/Andretti Autosport before his retirement from the series. Over 23 career starts he collected 2 wins and 9 podiums, without securing a championship title. His background includes a stint in the Verizon IndyCar Series in 2014 with KVSH Racing, before he returned focus to the Indy NXT ladder, where his current Racer Rating of 3,818 places him 600th among active drivers on a scale where the world's elite sit between roughly 10,000 and 11,500.[1]
In his most recent season, 2026, Saavedra recorded 1 win and 6 podiums across 12 rounds, finishing third in the standings. This result stood as a high point in a career built largely within the Indy NXT ranks, reflecting steady if unspectacular progress rather than dominant form. Now retired, Saavedra's record includes a modest but consistent tally of podium finishes, underscoring a career defined by competitiveness within the junior open-wheel scene rather than outright championship success.[2]
