Emma Segattini is a rising Italian GT driver who made history at 18 with a dramatic maiden BMW M2 Cup victory, leading an all-female 1-2 finish that announced her arrival in car racing—and she’s just getting started.

EARLY YEARS

Born June 25, 2005, in Verona, Italy, Emma Segattini started karting at age 12. She quickly established herself as one of Italy’s best young female drivers, collecting multiple successes in domestic karting competitions, including strong performances in the Italian Rotax Junior Championship. Karting gave her the foundation she needed—racecraft, speed, and the grit required to compete against the boys who dominated the grids.

EARLY SUCCESS

Segattini graduated to car racing in 2022, transitioning from karts to full-bodied machines in her second year of competition. By 2023, at just 18 years old, she entered the BMW M2 CS Racing Cup Italy with Pinetti Motorsport by Autotorino. The season finale at Imola became a landmark moment—not just for her, but for Italian motorsport. After progressively working her way up the order, Emma took a dramatic maiden victory in the opening race, beating veteran racer Vicky Piria to the line. The result marked a historic all-female 1-2 finish, the first in the Italian series and a statement victory that put her on the map. It was a hell of a way to end a season.
