My name is Beco Bernoldi, officially Bernardo. I was born in Florianópolis, Brazil, under the sign of Leo, to my parents Enrique and Luisa. I spent my first year of life in Paris, then returned to Brazil for two years before, at the age of four, my family moved to the United States. As the son of a former Formula 1 driver, I’ve always felt a special connection to the world of motorsports.

When I was 7, my father, drawing from his professional experience, tried to get me into karting, knowing how important it is to start young for anyone who dreams of a racing career.
At that time, though, I chose to pursue other sports. I started horseback riding at age 7.
At 9 I started playing ice-hockey as defense for the Anaheim Junior Ducks, winning the California State Championship with my team.
Golf also played a role in my development, teaching me patience and focus.
At 12, as hockey became more physical, my father brought me back to karting, and it was then that I knew this would be my path.
In 2023 I got my first kart and I began competing at club circuits in California, then moved on to national races across the United States, eventually placing fourth in the Italian finals of the Rotax single-brand championship.
In 2024, after moving to Europe, I joined Dino Chiesa’s Kart Republic team, racing in high-level competitions like WSK, the Italian, European, and World championships, always with the goal of improving and reaching new height.
Off the track, I enjoy spending my free time skiing and doing fitness training to stay in top shape and be ready for each race.
Looking ahead, I am training hard with the hope of stepping up to Formula 4 soon, continuing to pursue my dream of becoming a professional driver.
