Nicolás’ journey

Nicolás Varrone, originally from Ingeniero Maschwitz, has extensive experience in endurance racing at just 24 years old, having already competed in formula competitions. For the past year, he has been part of the General Motors-Cadillac team, which will join F1 in 2026.

Varrone took part in the end of year Formula 2 testing in Abu Dhabi, where he impressed with his performance. The Argentine driver took to the track in Abu Dhabi in mid-December with a car from the AIX Racing team, normally driven by Joshua Duerksen, who also won the second race of the last round on this circuit.

“Nico” showed he was up to the task, especially in the afternoon session during F2 testing. Following the practice, Duerksen shared a photo with Varrone, saying: “We can see you had fun, Nico Varrone. You took care of the car.” The Argentinian quickly replied: “Thank you, crack, for the help and the good atmosphere! »

According to reports, the driver will participate in three races behind the wheel of a Chevrolet Corvette as part of an endurance racing program. With the announcement of General Motors' entry into F1, Varrone and his team are embarking on a strategy aimed at realizing this sporting dream.

As for the championship with the Corvette, that should start with the 24 Hours of Daytona, scheduled for January 23-26. “Obviously I have an agreement for IMSA with the official Corvette team, but for Formula 2 we are in discussions to reach an agreement,” said Varrone, hopeful of following in Colapinto's footsteps to reach F1, during an interview with Carburando.

Although all seats are already taken in F2 for 2025, he is confident that his recent performances could open a path for him for the Argentinian pilot. Aside from its on-track efforts, growing interest from Argentine companies could facilitate the quest for necessary funding for upcoming competitions.
