Diego José Ciantini (born 21 July 1998) is a racing driver from Argentina.[1]
Biography
Ciantini began racing in low-level Argentine open-wheeler series in 2014, before stepping up to the second tier of domestic touring cars in 2015. In 2016 he moved to Europe to contest Formula 4 in Italy and Germany with Jenzer Motorsport, finishing on the podium once at Imola in a red-flag finish caused by an accident he was involved in.[2] He moved back to Argentina in 2017 and joined the Turismo Carretera pyramid, competing in TC Mouras and finishing ninth with two wins before stepping up to TC Pista in 2018, winning the championship the following season.[3]
Ciantini advanced to Turismo Carretera in 2020, scoring a top five at Autódromo Oscar y Juan Gálvez but failing to qualify for the playoffs. He also returned to touring cars at the end of the year, competing in the last four rounds of Súper TC 2000 and scoring a podium in Paraná.[4] He won his first Turismo Carretera race at Autódromo Provincia de La Pampa in 2023.[5]
Ciantini comes from a potato farming and producing family.[6][7] His father, José Ciantini, raced in Turismo Carretera between 1993 and 2012, winning three Finals for Dodge.[8]
