Victoria Johnsson Farfus dos Santos (born 12 June 2011) is a Brazilian and Italian racing driver who competes in the E4 and Italian F4 Championships for Prema Racing. She is the daughter of Augusto Farfus.
Personal life
[edit]Farfus was born on 12 June 2011 in Curitiba, Brazil, but as of 2026 is based in Monaco.[1] She is the daughter of BMW factory driver Augusto Farfus,[2][3] and the older sister of Johnny Farfus, who is also a racing driver.[4]
Career
[edit]Farfus began karting in 2023,[5] competing until 2025.[6] After a podium at the 50 Milhas de Kart on her debut year,[7][8] Farfus joined Iron Dames in early 2024 for her first full-season in junior karts.[9] Following a quiet season mostly spent in OK-NJ, Farfus found more success in the category in 2025,[10] finishing eighth in the Champions of the Future Academy Program standings and fourth in the Karting World Cup.[11][12][13] During her karting career, Farfus was also part of F1 Academy's Discover Your Drive initiative.[14]
In 2026, Farfus stepped up to car racing by entering the Ginetta Junior Championship with Paradine Competition.[15] After taking a best result of 11th at Snetterton in the first six rounds,[16] Farfus switched to R Racing for the penultimate of the season at Donington Park, where she took a season-best result of tenth in race three.[17] During 2026, Farfus also began testing Formula 4 machinery with Cram Motorsport,[18] before participating in F1 Academy's rookie test at Navarra in September,[19][20] in which she set the overall fastest time.[21][22] After ending her rookie campaign in the Ginetta Junior Championship, Farfus resumed her F4 testing programme, now with Prema Racing,[23][24] as she joined them for her single-seater debut at the final rounds of both the E4 and Italian F4 Championships.[25]
