Antonio Fuoco was born in 1996 in Cariati in the Italian region of Calabria. Like many Italian racing drivers, he began his motorsport career in karting, where he attracted attention even as a teenager through consistent performances and a fine feel for the limit. These early years in karting laid the foundation for his path through European junior series.
After karting, Fuoco progressed through the classic formula junior categories and gained important experience handling increasingly powerful vehicles. The jump into the GT3 world and later into the FIA World Endurance Championship WEC was the logical continuation of his development, during which he increasingly specialized in endurance racing and GT competition—a discipline that demands tactical understanding, consistency over many hours, and the ability to work closely with teammates.
Among the greatest achievements of his career so far is his work for Ferrari as part of the brand’s endurance racing programs, where he established himself as a permanent member of the works lineup. In particular, his appearances in the FIA WEC brought him podium finishes and important class victories, which solidified his reputation as a reliable and fast driver among a high-caliber field of racers. Over the years, he has developed into one of the most experienced Italian endurance drivers of his generation.
In the 2026 season, Antonio Fuoco is once again competing in the FIA WEC, where he continues to race for a Ferrari works team. Together with his teammates in the cockpit, he aims to build on the strong performances of previous years and fight for podium finishes and class victories in the prestigious endurance races of the season. For fans and observers of the scene, Fuoco remains one of the names to watch in the fight for leading positions.
