PROFILE

SHAUN TORRENTE is one of the most dynamic drivers on the tour. He finished runner-up in the title race in 2016 and 2013 and has taken third overall twice, joining the Victory Team at the Grand Prix of France in 2015.

He made a somewhat inauspicious first appearance in the championship in 2007, starting his first full season in 2011 joining Team Qatar. From 34 starts he has won four times with nine podium finishes, qualifying in pole position four times.

His racing career began in the USA when he was 15, going on to be a SST-120 (F2) world champion twice in 2002 and 2003, then moving up and winning the North American F1 Championship three times.
