Family background
Caio Collet was born on April 3, 2002, in São Paulo, Brazil.[4][5] During his childhood, Collet resided with his family in São Paulo, the vibrant metropolis where he developed his early interests.[6] His father is a former rally driver who participated in events such as the Dakar Rally. Public details about other immediate family members, such as his mother or siblings, remain limited.[5] His family's support played a key role in facilitating his early transition to karting as a pursued passion.[5]Introduction to motorsport
Caio Collet, born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, was first introduced to motorsport by his father at around age three or four, when he rode a small quad at rally events. His mother later discouraged rallying due to safety concerns, leading him to begin karting at the age of seven at a local track near his family home.[5][7] This early entry was influenced by the vibrant racing culture in the region, where proximity to facilities like the Interlagos karting track provided accessible exposure to the sport from a young age.[6] His initial motivations stemmed from the excitement of local competitions in the São Paulo area, where he participated in his first karting events, fostering a passion for speed and competition amid Brazil's strong karting tradition. Family support from his São Paulo background played a key role in encouraging this pursuit, enabling him to train and race regularly in the region's circuits.[6] Following his 2017 karting season, at age 15, Collet transitioned to single-seaters, debuting in the 2017–18 Formula 4 UAE Championship later that year, driven by his dream of advancing toward Formula One.[3][7]Single-seater racing career
Formula 4 championships
Caio Collet's transition from karting to single-seater racing began with the 2017–18 Formula 4 UAE Championship, where he made his debut for Silberpfeil Energy Dubai. Competing in seven races, he secured one victory and six podium finishes, culminating in a sixth-place overall classification with 124 points.[3][8] Building on this promising start, Collet entered the 2018 French F4 Championship with R-ace GP as part of the FFSA Academy's Volant Winfield program. He dominated the season, claiming the drivers' title with seven wins, six pole positions, and 14 podiums across 24 races, amassing 272 points. Key highlights included a double victory at the season finale in Jerez, which sealed the championship, and strong performances at tracks like Magny-Cours and Dijon.[9][8][10] Concurrently, Collet competed in the 2018 ADAC Formula 4 Championship for Prema Powerteam, participating in 18 of the 21 races. He achieved six podium finishes, notably third places in both races at the challenging Monaco round, but concluded the season 16th in the standings.[8][11][12] These Formula 4 achievements, supported by teams like Silberpfeil, R-ace GP, and Prema, demonstrated Collet's adaptability and speed in entry-level open-wheel racing, laying a solid foundation for his advancement to regional Formula Renault series.[13][14]Formula Renault Eurocup
Following his championship-winning campaign in the French F4 series, Caio Collet progressed to the Formula Renault Eurocup in 2019 with R-ace GP as part of the Renault Sport Academy.[4][15] He demonstrated strong adaptability to the more powerful 270 hp Renault-powered Tatuus T-19 chassis, achieving six podium finishes across the season, including a runner-up result at Spa-Francorchamps.[16][17] Collet also recorded consistent top-five results in challenging events such as the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, where he finished fourth in Race 1, contributing to his status as the series' top rookie.[18] These performances culminated in a fifth-place overall championship finish with 207 points, highlighting his growth in racecraft and tire management on diverse European circuits.[19][12] In 2020, Collet remained with R-ace GP and the Renault Sport Academy, benefiting from the team's expertise to elevate his results amid a disrupted season. The COVID-19 pandemic delayed the calendar from its original April start, leading to a revised 10-round schedule condensed into the summer and fall with back-to-back events at select venues like Magny-Cours and Hockenheim.[20][21] Collet adapted effectively to the altered format, securing his maiden series victory in the opening race at Hockenheim after starting from pole and navigating two safety car periods.[22] He added four more podiums, including a second-place finish, to end the year as runner-up in the standings with 304 points, just 44 behind champion Victor Martins.[23][19] Collet's two seasons in the Eurocup emphasized his development in managing the car's increased power and downforce compared to Formula 4 machinery, fostering greater consistency and strategic overtaking skills essential for higher-level single-seaters.[24][25] This period solidified his reputation as a poised talent, paving the way for further academy support and international exposure.[12]Toyota Racing Series
Caio Collet participated in the 2020 Castrol Toyota Racing Series as part of his off-season development following his rookie campaign in the Formula Renault Eurocup. Driving for mtec Motorsport, the Brazilian secured a pole position in the opening qualifying session at Highlands Motorsport Park and claimed one victory in the first race at Teretonga Park after a dominant performance from fourth on the grid.[26][27] Despite a controversial five-second penalty that cost him a potential win in the season opener, Collet's consistent pace across the 15-race calendar, including two fastest laps, resulted in a seventh-place finish in the drivers' standings with 219 points.[28][8] The Toyota Racing Series, held annually in New Zealand during the European winter months of January and February, offered Collet valuable seat time on diverse and technically demanding circuits such as the undulating Teretonga Park and the modern Highlands Motorsport Park, which differ significantly from European venues. This timing made it an ideal preparatory platform for international drivers seeking to maintain sharpness ahead of their primary seasons.[29] Collet's TRS outing served as a crucial bridge between his Formula Renault Eurocup experiences—where he had finished fifth overall in 2019—and his elevated performance in the 2020 Eurocup season, culminating in second place and paving the way for his debut in the FIA Formula 3 Championship the following year. The series' use of Tatuus FT-60 chassis with Toyota engines and Hankook tires mirrored the equipment in Formula Renault, allowing seamless skill honing in racecraft and adaptability to varying track conditions.[16][29]FIA Formula 3 Championship
Caio Collet entered the FIA Formula 3 Championship in 2021 as a promising talent from the Alpine Academy, joining MP Motorsport for his rookie season. The Brazilian driver competed across 21 races, adapting to the competitive field while facing the challenges of a midfield team against dominant squads like Prema Racing. His campaign highlighted steady progression, with two podium finishes in sprint races at Paul Ricard and Zandvoort, contributing to a solid ninth-place finish in the drivers' standings with 93 points. These results underscored Collet's potential in wheel-to-wheel combat, though he encountered setbacks such as penalties and mechanical issues that limited further gains.[30][31] In 2022, Collet remained with MP Motorsport, benefiting from improved team synergy alongside teammates Alexander Smolyar and Filip Ugran, which fostered a more cohesive setup and data-sharing environment. This second year marked a clear step forward, as he secured his maiden F3 pole position at Spa-Francorchamps amid changing weather conditions and followed it with another at Monza, demonstrating enhanced qualifying pace. Collet claimed two sprint race victories—at Hungaroring and Monza—while achieving five podiums overall, including near-misses in feature races like a fourth at Silverstone. Despite these peaks, inconsistent feature race results and rivalries with top drivers such as Victor Martins and Dennis Hauger kept him from the championship fight, ending the season eighth with 88 points. The campaign showcased his aggressive overtaking style but also highlighted the need for better race-day execution against Prema's consistency.[32][33][34] For 2023, Collet switched to Van Amersfoort Racing, aiming to leverage the team's development for a breakthrough year, though he faced integration challenges with new teammates Reece Ushijima and later Tommy Smith. The move paid dividends early, with a strong start featuring podiums at Bahrain and Melbourne, building momentum through refined setup work. His highlight came at Spa-Francorchamps, where he dominated the sprint race for his third F3 win and sole victory of the season, fending off pressure from Prema's Paul Aron. Collet amassed four podiums total, but mid-season struggles with car balance and intense competition from rising stars like Gabriele Mini hampered consistency, resulting in a ninth-place championship finish with 73 points. This tenure concluded his European junior ladder progression, paving the way for his transition to American open-wheel racing.[35][36][37]Indy NXT
Collet transitioned to the Indy NXT series in 2024, joining HMD Motorsports to drive the No. 18 Dallara for the full season, marking his entry into American open-wheel racing following his European Formula 3 experience.[38] In his debut at the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, he finished seventh, demonstrating solid adaptation to the series' street circuit demands.[19] Collet achieved his first podium with a second-place finish at the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix, followed by additional strong results including a victory at the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio, where he led all 35 laps from pole position.[39][40] With one win and five other podiums, he secured third place in the championship standings with 436 points and earned the Rookie of the Year honors.[41][42] Returning to HMD Motorsports for 2025, Collet built on his rookie success, capturing three victories, including at Road America and a doubleheader sweep at Laguna Seca, while amassing nine podium finishes en route to second in the drivers' championship behind Dennis Hauger.[43][44] Over his two seasons, he recorded four wins total, highlighting his rapid progression in the series.[45] Notable performances included a runner-up at the Indianapolis Grand Prix on the road course, where he started from pole and pressured the leader throughout.[46] Collet's move to Indy NXT required significant adaptation to the American racing landscape, encompassing a mix of road courses, street circuits, and ovals, which contrasted with the predominantly road-based European series he knew from Formula 3.[47] His first oval podium came in third at the Milwaukee Mile season finale in 2024, signaling growing comfort with high-speed banking, a skill that bolstered his consistency in 2025 across diverse track types.[47]IndyCar Series
In November 2025, Caio Collet signed a multi-year contract with A.J. Foyt Racing to compete full-time in the NTT IndyCar Series starting in 2026, driving the No. 4 Chevrolet entry sponsored by Brazilian logistics company Combitrans Amazônia.[45][2] The 23-year-old Brazilian, who earned qualification through his runner-up finish in the 2025 Indy NXT by Firestone championship, expressed enthusiasm about the move, stating it was "a dream come true after years of hard work" and an opportunity to represent Brazil in a series with strong popularity there.[45][48] Collet completed his first test in an IndyCar machine on October 1, 2025, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course with A.J. Foyt Racing, where he adapted quickly to the high-downforce DW12 chassis and provided positive feedback on the team's Chevrolet-powered machinery.[49] He will join Santino Ferrucci as teammates, with Ferrucci continuing in the No. 14 car for his fifth consecutive season with the team.[48][50] For his rookie campaign, Collet aims to contend for Rookie of the Year honors while competing in all 17 races, including the prestigious Indianapolis 500, and contributing to the team's overall competitiveness on ovals, road courses, and street circuits.[2] Team President Larry Foyt highlighted Collet's potential, noting, "There’s no doubt that he will be a strong contender in the battle for Rookie of the Year."[2]Formula E involvement
Reserve and racing roles
In January 2024, Caio Collet was appointed as the reserve and simulator driver for the Nissan Formula E Team ahead of the 2023–24 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship season.[51] In this role, he was prepared to step in as a substitute racer if required and contributed to the team's development through extensive simulator work, providing feedback on energy management systems, driving styles, and overall performance strategies to support in-season improvements.[51] Collet joined the team on-site starting with the Mexico City E-Prix and participated in additional testing, including rookie-only practice sessions at the Misano E-Prix and a rookie test in Berlin, which helped familiarize him with the Gen3 Formula E car.[52] Collet's reserve duties culminated in a substitute racing opportunity at the Portland E-Prix in June 2024, where he debuted in the series, replacing the ill regular driver Oliver Rowland in the No. 22 Nissan e-4ORCE 04 car.[52] This appearance marked his first competitive outing in Formula E, building on his simulator preparations and prior testing to demonstrate his adaptability to the championship's unique demands. Following the conclusion of the 2023–24 season, Collet opted not to renew his contract with Nissan for the 2024–25 campaign, choosing instead to concentrate fully on his commitments in Indy NXT with HMD Motorsports.[53] He cited the previous year's travel demands from Formula E as a factor that had divided his focus, emphasizing a desire to prioritize progression toward IndyCar.[53] Collet's involvement with Nissan provided valuable exposure to electric racing technology and high-stakes team environments, enhancing his versatility as a driver across open-wheel disciplines and contributing to his professional growth.[51] This experience complemented his parallel racing program in Indy NXT during 2024, where he balanced simulator and testing obligations with on-track competition.[52]2023–24 season performance
Caio Collet made his Formula E debut during the double-header Portland ePrix on June 29–30, 2024, substituting for the unwell Oliver Rowland in the #22 Nissan Formula E Team car.[54] As the team's reserve driver, this opportunity marked his transition from simulator work to on-track action in the all-electric series.[52] In the first race, Collet qualified 14th overall after posting the seventh-fastest time in Group B during qualifying.[55] He faced early challenges, including a collision that dropped him down the order, ultimately finishing 18th without scoring points.[56] The second race saw further adaptation hurdles, with Collet navigating the demands of energy management and the Gen3 car's instant torque delivery, which he later described as making him feel "lost" at times amid the unfamiliar electric racing dynamics.[57] Despite these difficulties, he improved to 16th at the finish, completing both events without additional incidents.[58] Collet's limited appearances yielded no points for the Nissan team, contributing minimally to their overall season performance.[59] Nissan concluded the 2023–24 campaign in fourth place in the teams' standings with 182 points, driven primarily by consistent results from their regular drivers.[60]Academy affiliations
Alpine Academy membership
Caio Collet joined the Renault Sport Academy—predecessor to the Alpine Academy—in January 2019 following his victory in the 2018 French Formula 4 Championship.[61][15][62] As a member, Collet received comprehensive support, including financial backing, access to training facilities, simulator sessions, and mentorship from Alpine's engineering and performance staff during his progression through junior formulas.[63][64] This assistance was particularly vital during his FIA Formula 3 campaigns from 2021 to 2023, where the academy facilitated his placement with MP Motorsport and provided technical guidance to aid his development.[65][66] A notable highlight of his academy tenure was the 2021 FIA Formula 3 pre-season test at the Red Bull Ring, where Collet set the fastest lap time and established a new category track record of 1:18.592, demonstrating the benefits of the program's resources.[67][68] The academy's rebranding to Alpine Academy in 2021 further integrated Collet into the program's expanded structure, retaining him alongside other juniors like Victor Martins.[69] Collet's official membership ended at the start of 2023 after four years in the program, primarily due to not meeting the performance targets set by Alpine during his 2022 Formula 3 season, where he finished eighth overall.[70][71][72] Despite the departure, he maintained an informal connection with the Alpine Racing family, allowing limited ongoing collaboration.[73]Sponsorships and support
Caio Collet's early single-seater career in the 2018 French F4 Championship was financially backed by the Winfield Racing School through its Volant Winfield scholarship, which he won and which covered his full-season participation.[74] Following his academy induction in January 2019, the Renault Sport Academy—rebranded as the Alpine Academy in 2021—provided funding and logistical support for Collet's campaigns in the Formula Renault Eurocup (2019–2020) and the FIA Formula 3 Championship (2021–2023), enabling his progression through these European series.[61] After departing the Alpine Academy at the end of 2023, Collet transitioned to the North American racing scene with sponsorship from Brazilian logistics firm Combitrans Amazonia, which supported his 2025 Indy NXT by Firestone season with HMD Motorsports and extended as primary sponsor for his 2026 NTT IndyCar Series entry with A.J. Foyt Racing in the No. 4 Chevrolet.[2]Personal life
