🇧🇷 Victor Franzoni

Victor Franzoni is a professional racing driver competing primarily in open-wheel championships in North America. Rated 4,245, he holds an FIA Silver grade and competes in single-class sprint series at the national level, raced solo in one car per entry. He won the 2017 Pro Mazda Championship with Juncos Racing, and has since driven for Juncos Hollinger Racing in Indy NXT.[1]

Franzoni's career spans a decade from 2012, beginning in Formula Renault Eurocup in Europe before relocating to North American single-seaters. In Pro Mazda he took seven wins and twelve podiums across 21 starts, establishing himself strongly enough to move to Indy NXT in 2018. His time in Indy NXT has been longer and more competitive by volume; across two separate windows of competition (2018–2019 and 2023), he accumulated five podiums from 21 starts with Juncos Hollinger Racing. He also contested three IMSA WeatherTech endurance races in 2019, competing in the DPi and GTD classes. In 2020 he returned to single-seaters in Formula Regional Americas, taking ten podiums from 17 starts in that national championship. His current season began in 2026 with the World Racing League.[2]

Franzoni regularly races against drivers who have moved beyond his level. Pato O'Ward, an elite professional and champion of both the 2018 Indy NXT and 2017 IMSA WeatherTech PC, is a frequent opponent in Indy NXT; O'Ward typically finishes ahead. Against Dalton Kellett, a Silver-graded professional with 69 Indy NXT starts, Franzoni is closely matched. He has beaten O'Ward six times in head-to-head meetings and Oliver Rowland, a Platinum-graded elite professional and 2025 Formula E champion, twice.
