Filipina racing driver Bianca Bustamante is returning to Italy to compete at the historic Monza Autodromo Nazionale Monza circuit. Bustamante will be racing in two separate Formula 4 Championships throughout the month of October with her F1 Academy team, ART Grand Prix, starting with Round 3 of the Euro 4 Championship taking place from October 3 to 6. The 19-year-old will also compete in Round 7, and the season finale of the Italian F4 Championship on October 24 to 27.
Utilizing a Tatuus F4-T421, both races will be an exciting opportunity for Bustamante to push her limits, on a circuit which she holds close to her heart. Navigating the high-speed circuit and large grid sizes will test the Filipina’s skills as she faces tougher competition – once again racing with top male and female racing talent from around the world. Bustamante is aiming to put in a strong performance on a track she previously found success, when she stood on the top step of the podium and heard the Philippine anthem play.
The Autodromo Nazionale Monza, also known as the ‘Temple of Speed’ is one of the most famous Grand Prix circuits in the world. Located in the Italian city of Monza, it spans 5.793 km (3,600 miles) and stands out with its diverse range of long straights and slow chicanes that challenge both drivers and machines. The circuit has played host to multiple FIA championships, including the inaugural Formula One Championship of 1950 as well as the Italian Grand Prix.
This opportunity has been made possible through sponsors GoTyme Bank, the fastest growing bank in the Philippines and title partner at Race to Inspire last August where Bustamante was the event ambassador, as well as LEE (Lance East Exotics). Fans can tune in to the official Euro 4 live stream that will broadcast all three races on the Euro 4 YouTube and Facebook channels, as well as on the ACI Sport website. The races can also be watched internationally via DAZN streaming.
