Determination is a word that is at the core of Augusto Farfus Jr’s philosophy, for it along with a great passion for speed have helped him achieve victory time and time again. Over the years the Brazilian, originally from Paraná, has built an impressive collection of titles in a variety of categories, from Mini-Moto to International car racing.
The first chapter is written
Farfus’s tryst with speed began when, as a 6-year old, he began riding mini-motorcycles in Curitiba. After impressing on two wheels, it was obvious that he possessed a burning passion for speed which prompted to switch to kart racing in 1992 and his talent soon shone through with him winning the Paranaense title in his debut season.
"I have learned a lot, been able to demonstrate my speed, and even challenged for the title. It has been an amazing time."

The name is Farfus
In the light of several successful campaigns over the years, across Brazil, Farfus relocated to Italy in 1999 joined the official CRG team and immediately began to add on to his tally of wins and titles. The then 16-year old immediately found his stride racing single-seaters and began contesting in the European and Italian Formula Renault Championships with CRAM Competition, an Italian team.
The following year, racing for RC Motorsport he soon became the European Champion in 2001 and went on to secure the European Formula 3000 crown in 2003 with the Draco Racing Team.
