ORLANDO, FL – Zanella Racing is pleased to confirm its third driver for the 2025 USF Juniors program as they announce the return of Texan Diego Guiot for his second season in the series. Guiot made his debut in the USF Pro Championships Presented by Continental Tire last year and finished 14th in the final standings, just a scant eight points outside the top-10. Guiot scored a total of seven top-10 finishes last season, with five of them coming over the second half of the season, showing his rapid development. His season-best results came at VIR where he finished sixth in both Race 2 and Race 3. All focus is on taking the next step forward, which will be fight for podiums, wins and the championship title.
"We were very pleased with Diego’s development over the course of his rookie season and to have him back in USF Juniors with us for 2025 is just part of our plan for him," offered Naka Zanella, Team Owner. “I have no doubt that he’ll be part of the lead battle all year with all the data that we collected for our first year in the program.”
Guiot made his debut in the USF Juniors program in 2024 after competing in the YACademy Winter Series. The 16-year-old from The Woodlands, Texas spent four years in karting, where he had tremendous success racing in top series like the Superkarts! USA Pro Tour, United States Pro Kart Challenge, and the Texas Sprint Racing Series.
"I'm incredibly excited for the 2025 season with USF Juniors,” added Guiot. “This year, my primary objective is to build on the momentum from last season by consistently fighting for podium finishes and demonstrating my growth as a driver. I’m incredibly grateful to Team Zanella for pushing me to maximize my performance and helping me develop my skills behind the wheel. I’m thrilled for what’s ahead this season."
