  • Simona De Silvestro January 9, 1988 - Present Nationality: Swiss and Italian Raced: 1998 - Present
    Simona de Silvestro January 9, 1988 - Present Nationality: Swiss and Italian Raced: 1998 - Present Background: Simona de Silvestro was born in Thun, Switzerland in 1988. Her interest in motor sports began early in her life and by age ten she was already racing competitively. She participated in the Western Switzerland Championship in 1998, 1999, and 2000, and spent her next few years kart-racing throughout Europe and competing in the Italian Formula Renault 2000 series. De Silvestro moved to the United States in 2006 to pursue her racing career and she made history that year by becoming the first woman to earn a podium result at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Walker Racing signed her to their team in November 2006, and in April 2007 she began her rookie year racing in the Atlantic Championship, America's top open-wheel driver development series. She joined Newman Wachs Racing in 2008, and earned her first victory in the series. De Silvestro spent the 2009 season racing with Team Stargate Worlds. With four wins, she was point leader throughout much of the year and came very close to winning the Atlantic Championship title. She was knocked out of the running on October 11th after her car tangled with Markus Niemela’s at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Had she won the title, she would have become the first woman to do so in the Atlantic Championship’s 36-year history. Early Influences: De Silvestro has always had the desire to race. Her passion for the sport can be attributed to her father’s love of it.
