Max Marzorati (born 17 July 2000) is a British racing driver, competing in the GB4 Championship for Hillspeed.

Career

[edit]

Renault UK Clio Cup

[edit]

Marzorati started his car racing career in the 2017 edition of the Renault UK Clio Cup.[1] Driving for Team Pyro, the Brit achieved three victories, winning his first ever car race and with 153 points he finished 3rd in the junior class.[2]

Lower formulae

[edit]

In 2018, Marzorati made a switch to the single-seater scene, competing in various Formula Ford events, such as the Formula Ford Festival. He spent two years in the category, but would do selected rounds and events. In his first year he won the last chance race that got him into the festival final. In his second year he had two podiums at the champion of Brands after leading the majority of both races. He then qualified on the front row at the festival in 2019 when contact with another driver dropped him back, he recovered to finish 11th in the final.[3]

BRDC British Formula 3 Championship

[edit]

In 2020, the Brit progressed to the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship with JHR for two rounds and then moved to CDR for the final two rounds.[4][5] with a best race finish of eighth in the first race of round three at Donnington.[6]

The following year Marzorati returned to the series, teaming up with Ayrton Simmons at CDR. Max had a highest place of 2nd (reverse grid) and had a puncture whilst fighting for the lead at the sixth round at Silverstone (reverse grid). He again only competed in half the rounds.

GB4 Championship

[edit]

For 2022, Marzorati competed in the inaugural GB4 Championship. He was given the nickname "Mr Consistency" for his extremely consistent results over the course of the season, where he claimed 10 podiums and started from pole position twice. He was a title contender and the main rival of the eventual championship winner Nikolas Taylor. After a disastrous final event at Donington for Marzorati, he finished 3rd in the championship.

2023

[edit]

Marzorati did not compete in any events during 2023. However, he was the lead development and test driver for the Formula Foundation car and championship. He also was a frequent commentator and presenter for the 2023 GB3 and GB4 season.
