Bruna Alberti Tomaselli[1][2] (born 18 September 1997 in Caibi) is a Brazilian female racing driver. She formerly competed in the W Series and has also raced in Stock Car Brasil.[3][4]

Biography

Tomaselli began her professional career in Fórmula Junior Brasil, a category comparable to Formula Ford in other countries.[5] Following two seasons there, she would move up to Fórmula 4 Sudamericana, run to Formula Renault 1.6 regulations – where she finished fourth in her second season.[6][7]

She moved to the United States in 2017, joining the Road to Indy through the U.S. F2000 National Championship.[8] She undertook a part-time campaign initially, and signed with Team Pelfrey for a full-time campaign in 2018 – finishing 16th in the standings.[9] Tomaselli remained in U.S. F2000 in 2019, moving to Pabst Racing Services – improving to 8th overall with a top-five finish at Mid-Ohio.[10][11]

The Brazilian driver attempted to qualify for the W Series, a Formula 3 championship for female drivers, in 2019 but failed to pass the evaluation day for potential recruits.[12] She attempted to join the championship again for 2020, and would successfully join the 20-driver field.[13] Following the cancellation of the 2020 season, Tomaselli competed in the 2021 W Series driving for Veloce Racing, alongside eventual champion Jamie Chadwick. She managed two top-ten finishes in eight rounds, with 12 points overall, finishing 15th in the Drivers' Championship.[14] She was retained for the 2022 season, which she began with another top-five finish in the first race in Miami; afterwards she could only manage one point in the remaining six races and finished 12th in the championship after it was curtailed due to financial problems.[15]

Tomaselli returned to Brazil in 2023, competing in second-tier domestic stock cars. She finished 8th overall in her début season with three top-five finishes.[16] She remained in the championship for 2024, scoring a podium at Cascavel before being parachuted into the top-flight for the final round after Marcos Gomes suffered a medical episode.[17][4]
