Two-time 24 Hours of Le Mans class winner Nico Varrone is seeking to continue his open-wheel career in the series he’s always aspired to join since childhood. After achieving success in the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship GTE and LMP2 Pro-Am categories, Varrone is following the path of drivers like Colin Braun and Toby Sowery by transitioning back to open-wheel racing. Despite starting his single-seater education in Europe as a karting standout from Buenos Aires, Varrone faced budget constraints that led him to GT and LMP3 competitions, where he excelled with impressive victories. Now, the 23-year-old driver is actively pursuing opportunities in IndyCar, inspired by racing legends Scott Dixon and Helio Castroneves. With the help of his manager, Varrone is working on raising the necessary funds to secure testing opportunities and potentially compete in select IndyCar races next year, aiming to follow in the footsteps of fellow Argentine racer Agustin Canapino’s successful transition to the series.
