Our programs

A complete pathway from karting to the USF Pro Championships

Every Zanella Racing program is built around one thing: helping drivers reach their goals. Whether you’re racing your first kart or preparing for USF2000, you’ll get experienced coaching, professional engineering and a team that’s with you every lap.

From setup and tires to strategy and race-day logistics, our crew supports drivers and families at every event, so you can focus on performance.

Karting

Who it’s for

Young drivers from Kid Karts through senior classes, from first-time racers to national competitors. Karting is where every great driver starts, and it’s where Zanella Racing started too. Our karting program teaches the fundamentals of speed, racecraft and consistency, with trackside coaching and equipment support at every event.

USF Juniors

Who it’s for

Drivers age 14 and up, typically moving from karting into their first car. USF Juniors is the first step on the USF Pro Championships ladder to IndyCar, and it’s where Zanella Racing has won back-to-back team championships. The series uses the Tatuus JR-23 chassis on some of North America’s best road courses, and the champion earns a scholarship to move up to USF2000.

USF2000

Who it’s for

Drivers ready for the next step after USF Juniors or other junior formula series. USF2000 is the second step on the ladder to IndyCar, with many events run alongside the NTT INDYCAR SERIES. Zanella Racing debuted in USF2000 at St. Petersburg in 2026 so our drivers can keep moving up with the team that helped them get there.

Arrive & Drive

Who it’s for

Drivers who want to race a single event or a partial season without the commitment of a full program. Show up and race. We provide the car, crew, engineering and coaching, and handle all the logistics so you can focus on driving.

Testing & Development

Who it’s for

Drivers preparing for a new season, a new car or a new track. Focused test days to build speed and confidence. We run off-season and pre-event testing at tracks such as Homestead-Miami Speedway and Carolina Motorsports Park, with a clear plan and a debrief after every session.

Coaching & Data Analysis

Who it’s for

Every Zanella driver, and drivers looking to add coaching to their current program. We combine telemetry, onboard video and trackside observation to show exactly where time is being gained and lost, then build a plan to close the gap. Coaching continues between events so progress doesn’t stop when the weekend ends.
