NASCAR racing // Roccaraso, Italy
Luli Del Castello is an Italian racing driver who transformed from spectator to competitor, following in the footsteps of her father Roberto’s 46-year motorsport career.
EARLY YEARS
Born in Roccaraso, Italy, Luli was immersed in motorsport from age three, spending her childhood at racetracks during the 1990s golden era. Her father Roberto Del Castello, with his 46 years of racing experience, became her hero and idol, introducing her to the intricacies of Italian motorsport and laying the foundation for her future career.
EARLY SUCCESS
Del Castello made her competitive debut in 2014, entering the Lotus Cup Italia where she finished fourth overall while claiming the Ladies Cup title. This initial success led her to compete in increasingly challenging series, including the Supercar Series Championship and the Corvette GT3 in 2019, where she won the championship and mastered handling powerful engines at low revs.

REPUTATION
Luli has established herself as a resilient and adaptable competitor in European motorsport. Her quick mastery of the powerful 5.7-liter V8 EuroNASCAR stockcar impressed observers, particularly during her rookie season. With strong performances in the Lady Trophy category and growing competitiveness in the overall standings, she has built a reputation as one of Italy’s promising female racing talents, earning significant support from the Italian public during home races.
