Biography

Tomaselli began her professional career in Fórmula Junior Brasil, a category comparable to Formula Ford in other countries.[2] Following two seasons there, she would move up to Fórmula 4 Sudamericana, run to Formula Renault 1.6 regulations – where she finished fourth in her second season.[3][4]

She moved to the United States in 2017, joining the Road to Indy through the U.S. F2000 National Championship.[5] She undertook a part-time campaign initially, and signed with Team Pelfrey for a full-time campaign in 2018 – finishing 16th in the standings.[6] Tomaselli remained in U.S. F2000 in 2019, moving to Pabst Racing Services – improving to 8th overall with a top-five finish at Mid-Ohio.[7][8]

The Brazilian driver attempted to qualify for the W Series, a Formula 3 championship for female drivers, in 2019 but failed to pass the evaluation day for potential recruits.[9] She attempted to join the championship again for 2020, and would successfully join the 20-driver field.[10]
