The F2 Kart Reveal

Lanzetti Racing is opening a fundraise for a full F2 kart package - chassis, engine, spares and race-weekend running - so the team can put a competitive seat under the next driver in the programme. Livery, sponsor placements and the driver announcement drop at launch.

The Vision

Back the road to F1 for South African motorsport

South Africa has never been short of talent. It has been short of a ladder. Careers end at the bottom of it, not because drivers are slow, but because nobody funds the steps between a kart and a real machine. Lanzetti Racing is building those steps in the right order - and sponsors are backing a pipeline, not a single kart.

South Africa just received its unfair advantage, and we intend to use it for everyone who dreams of getting behind a real machine.

  1. 01
    Karting

    Young South African drivers coached properly from their first season - racecraft, data and race-weekend discipline, not guesswork.

  2. 02
    Engineering

    A full-time kart engineer on the programme so every driver develops against real setup and data work, the way Europe does it.

  3. 03
    Formula 2

    A funded seat that carries a South African driver onto the F1 support bill, where the sport's decision makers are watching.

  4. 04
    Formula 1

    The point of all of it. A South African back on the grid, with a pipeline behind him instead of a one-off miracle.

Back the vision Talk to the team
The Family

A good name, earned on track

Sebastian Lanzetti grew up in the paddock. Guided by his father Matteo - a lifelong motorsport man whose rule was always 'nothing is more valuable than a good name' - Sebastian climbed from karting to single seaters, taking the 2013 South African X30 Shifter Kart Championship, podiums in Formula Volkswagen and a seat in BRDC British Formula 4. Today he runs Lanzetti Racing as the on-track performance arm for young drivers: coaching, kart preparation, transport, and race-weekend operations built on the same family standard.
