# Francisco Macedo (racing driver)

Francisco Macedo (born 15 February 2008) is a Portuguese racing driver from Braga. He is set to compete in the 2025 Eurocup-3 season with Campos Racing.

## Career
### Karting

Macedo joined the European karting scene in late 2021, where he made appearances in two IAME series. He followed this with a full year of European karting in 2022. Macedo had a tough year, with a 23rd-placed championship finish in the IAME Winter Cup being the best result he would achieve over the course of the year. He contested the Karting European Championship, and the Karting World Championship at the end of the year. For 2023, Macedo would step up to senior karting, and he had a much more successful year. He finished 22nd overall in the Karting European Championship, and 34th in the Champions of the Future series.

### Formula 4

In early 2024, it was announced that Macedo would debut his car racing career in the 2024 Formula Winter Series, driving for Drivex. He had a difficult debut, with a best result of 29th from the first round at Jerez. He made huge improvements over the course of the four-round season, eventually securing a best result of 13th from the final round of the season at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. He finished 35th in the standings. It was then confirmed that Macedo would continue with Drivex for the full 2024 F4 Spanish Championship season. In the first race of the season at Jarama, Macedo would go on to finish 10th, his first points finish in his racing career. After the first round, however, Macedo struggled to score points, finishing in the points just twice more; in the fourth found at Aragón and the fifth round at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo. Macedo yielded nine points over the course of the year, which was enough to place him 21st in the championship standings, and enough to beat all but one of his Drivex teammates.

### Eurocup-3

After a successful first venture into single-seater racing, Macedo was confirmed to be stepping up to join 2024 runners-up Campos Racing for the 2025 Eurocup-3 season. He started the year in the Winter Championship.
