ANDREADUPÉ

Born on 12 July 2008 in Paris, Andrea Charles Dupé Sebe discovered motorsport at the age of six and quickly turned a childhood passion into a professional career. Coming from a family of motorsport enthusiasts, he grew up with Formula 1 and rallying as weekend rituals — a culture that would soon shape his entire trajectory.

After his early years in regional karting in Spain with Marc Ribas and the "Kids to Win" team, Andrea joined the official Sodi Factory Team in 2022 under Jean-Philippe Guignet, where he established himself as one of the most promising European karting talents of his generation. His third-place qualifying performances at the CIK-FIA European Championship in Franciacorta and at the CIK-FIA World Championship in Sarno confirmed his potential.

In 2023, he joined Kart Republic, the team led by Dino Chiesa — mentor to champions like Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. That season, Andrea claimed the title of Vice-Champion of Italy in OK, ahead of fellow French drivers Maxens Verbrugge and Jules Caranta. A defining year that opened the doors to single-seater racing.

In 2024, Andrea was selected for the prestigious Richard Mille Young Talent Academy, posting the fastest time in the pre-selection tests at Alcarràs Circuit and finishing fourth in the final shootout at Jerez — narrowly missing a fully funded seat with MP Motorsport in Spanish F4.

After his Formula 4 debut in early 2025 with AS Motorsport in the Formula Winter Series, Andrea signed with Prema Racing — one of the most prestigious junior teams in motorsport — for the Italian F4 Championship, racing alongside Kean Nakamura-Berta and Oleksandr Bondarev. Prema has launched the careers of champions like Charles Leclerc, Pierre Gasly and Oscar Piastri.

For 2026, Andrea takes on his most ambitious challenge yet: a full season in the FIA Formula Regional European Championship with Van Amersfoort Racing, after a pre-season campaign with G4 Racing in the Formula Regional Middle East Trophy. Coached by former French racing driver Bruno Besson and managed by Jeremy Satis at The Grid Agency — alongside Pierre Gasly and Isack Hadjar — Andrea now sets his sights on the European podium and the next steps toward Formula 3, Formula 2, and ultimately Formula 1.
