Giovanni Maschio Joins Team RPM for the 2024 Formula Regional European Championship

In an exciting development for motorsport enthusiasts, Giovanni Maschio has officially signed with Team RPM for the upcoming 2024 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine. This announcement marks a significant milestone in the young Italian driver's career, setting the stage for what promises to be an electrifying season.

Giovanni Maschio, a 17-year-old racing prodigy, is not a new name in the world of single-seater racing. Having made a notable debut in Formula 4 back in 2022 with AS Motorsport, Maschio has quickly risen through the ranks. His journey began in the adrenaline-fueled Italian Karting Championship’s ROK Senior class, where he made a lasting impression by finishing eighth in 2021. Maschio's rookie year in F4, primarily in the FIA’s Italian F4 championship, saw him finish 43rd in the standings, showcasing his potential with two 18th-place finishes.

The switch to R-ace GP for the season finale in October was a strategic move for Maschio, further enhancing his skills and exposure. His performance in the Monza finale of Formula X’s Pro Series for first-generation F4 cars was nothing short of remarkable, securing a third-place finish in the first race and dominating the second. Maschio's versatility was also evident in his participation in two rounds of the Italian Sport Prototypes series.

As Maschio gears up for his second year in FRECA, having debuted with Monolite in 2023, his enthusiasm is palpable. "I’m really excited to join RPM for next season. After all the post-season tests we are ready to fight together. I would like to thank the team for giving me this opportunity, and my family to support me in every moment of my career,” he expressed.

Keith Donegan, the team owner of RPM, shares this excitement. “We are really happy to have Giovanni with us for next season. He has shown good potential and progression over the winter testing so I am excited to see what we can do throughout the season. He is very motivated for the challenge so he is a great fit with everyone at RPM,” Donegan stated.

This partnership between Giovanni Maschio and Team RPM for the 2024 Formula Regional European Championship is not just a new chapter in Maschio’s career, but also a testament to his dedication and the unwavering support of his family and team. As the motorsport world turns its gaze to the upcoming season, all eyes will be on this young driver, whose journey from karting to single-seaters encapsulates the essence of motorsport – relentless pursuit, passion, and the drive to achieve greatness.

Giovanni Maschio’s leap into the 2024 Formula Regional European Championship with Team RPM is set to add an electrifying dynamic to the racing season. With a blend of youthful energy and proven skill, Maschio is poised to make a significant impact in the championship, embodying the spirit of determination and excellence in the world of racing.
