Francesco Castellacci

Francesco Castellacci was born in Italy and grew up in a family devoted to motorsport from an early age. Even in karting, his talent for precise and consistent driving became evident, setting him apart from the masses early on. The years spent on the karting track laid the technical and mental foundation upon which he would build his entire later career.

After karting, his path led consistently through European junior series. There, Castellacci gained valuable experience in different vehicle categories and worked his way step by step toward the GT3 class, where he eventually matured into one of the most consistent drivers of his generation. This path through junior formulas formed the basis for his later jump into the FIA WEC, where he was able to establish himself in international endurance racing.

The greatest milestone of his career to date was marked in 2011, when Castellacci won the FIA GT3 European Championship title. This success remains to this day the highlight of his career and proof of his ability to perform consistently at the highest level throughout an entire season. The title win also opened doors to more prestigious projects and strengthened his reputation as a reliable, fast GT3 specialist in the international motorsport scene.

In the 2026 season, Francesco Castellacci competes in the FIA WEC, where he continues to rely on his experience and consistency to compete at the front of one of the world’s most demanding endurance racing programs. His goal for the upcoming season is to build on the successes of his career and secure important points for the team in the championship. Fans can look forward to seeing how the Italian performs in one of the strongest driver fields in WEC history and whether he can once again demonstrate why he is counted among the most reliable drivers in his field.
