🇧🇷 Victor Franzoni

Victor Franzoni is a professional racing driver competing in a range of single-seat and multiclass competition. Rated 4,245, he sits at the professional level of the Racer Rating scale, competing across open-wheel and endurance series in the United States and Europe. He holds an FIA Silver grade in endurance racing. His primary team for much of his career has been Juncos Hollinger Racing; he currently races in the World Racing League for Zanella Racing.[1]

Franzoni won the 2017 Pro Mazda Championship with Juncos Racing, taking seven wins and twelve podiums across three seasons in the series. He has made repeated attempts in higher categories: seventeen starts in the national-level Formula Regional Americas in 2020 yielded ten podiums; six seasons in Indy NXT between 2018 and 2023 brought one win and five podiums from twenty-one starts. A three-race outing in IMSA WeatherTech in 2019 marked his only multiclass endurance entry on record. His earlier career included fifteen starts in the Formula Renault Eurocup between 2012 and 2014. He recently resumed racing activity with two World Racing League starts in 2026.[2]

Franzoni's record in Indy NXT sits in close company with established drivers. Dalton Kellett, a Silver-graded professional with forty-one IndyCar starts alongside sixty-nine in NXT, has been closely matched with Franzoni across their meetings. Against stronger opposition, Franzoni has finished ahead of Pato O'Ward, an elite professional and two-time champion, on multiple occasions, though O'Ward has typically led their head-to-head record. He has also beaten Oliver Rowland, a Platinum-graded elite professional and reigning Formula E champion, in isolated meetings in the Formula Renault Eurocup, a series Rowland contested early in his single-seater career.
