About Néstor

Before entering the world championship level of the sport, Néstor began his career in karts from 1993 to 2005, before debuting in Formula Renault Argentina the following year. He competed in national stock car competitions across Argentina and Brazil before stepping into the World Touring Car Championship for the first time in 2015. His best final classification came in 2022, where he rounded out the FIA WTCR – World Touring Car Cup season in an impressive second place overall. His first season with us was a positive one, as he claimed a victory in Race 2 at Vallelunga and a second-place finish in Race 2 at Zhuzhou.
