Biography

Since entering the GT-race world, Colin Caresani (2003) has rapidly ascended the ranks of European motorsport. Growing up just a few kilometers from Circuit Zandvoort, his passion for racing ignited early, leading him to karting at the age of nine. His karting tenure was marked by multiple victories and pole positions across Dutch, German, and European series, earning him a spot in the national KNAF talent program.
Transitioning to car racing in 2019, Colin made an immediate impact by securing the Rookie Champion title and finishing third overall in the Ford Fiesta Sprint Cup Benelux. He clinched the overall championship the following year. In 2021, backed by Van Poelgeest BMW, he became the National Champion of the BMW M2 Cup. His prowess caught the attention of the DTM BMW M2 Cup, where he participated in the final three rounds, amassing more points than any other driver in those races. In 2022, with BMW Factory Team Project 1, Colin competed in the DTM Trophy, narrowly missing the championship title.
The year 2023 marked Colin's foray into GT3 racing with Schnitzelalm Racing. As the youngest GT3 driver, he achieved pole positions and victories at GTWS Jerez and secured a second-place qualification for the Nürburgring 24H Qualifiers. His versatility was further demonstrated through development work for Mercedes-AMG's GT2 program and a top-five finish in the ADAC GT Masters at Nürburgring.
In 2024, Colin's trajectory continued upward as he joined Winward Racing in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup. Alongside teammates Daan Arrow and Tanart Sathienthirakul, he clinched the Silver Cup championship, highlighted by class victories at Monza and Paul Ricard, and a commendable fifth-place finish in the Silver Cup at the 24 Hours of Spa. Additionally, he secured a podium finish in the SP9 Pro-Am class at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring with Konrad Motorsport.

Looking ahead to 2025, Colin embarks on a dual campaign. He joins GetSpeed Performance for a full-season effort in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup, piloting the #6 Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo alongside Tanart Sathienthirakul and Aaron Walker. Concurrently, he competes in the Italian GT Endurance Championship with Antonelli Motorsport, teaming up with Florian Scholze and Sathienthirakul. These endeavors underscore Colin's commitment to establishing himself as a formidable presence in international GT racing.
Colin's analytical acumen, unwavering dedication, and collaborative spirit continue to define his journey.
