FULL BIO: Sara Varon
Sara Varon is a Colombian motorcycle racer who became the first woman from her country to win both Latin American and Ibero-American circuit racing championships, before making the leap to the world stage with the FIM Women’s Circuit Racing Championship.
EARLY YEARS
Born around 2002-2003 in Ibague, Colombia, Sara’s journey into motorsports began with a childhood dream centered around pocketbike racing. Her passion for speed led her to leave university entirely to focus 100% on her racing career—a decision that would prove transformative. The transition from Colombian regional circuits to international competition required her to relocate from Ibague to Mexico to be closer to her team and the racing environment.
OTHER INTERESTS
While Sara’s dedication to racing is all-consuming, with her stating “Racing is what has made me who I am, it’s my identity,” information about her interests outside of motorsports remains private.
EARLY SUCCESS
Sara’s breakthrough came through ITALIKA Racing, who recognized her talent and provided the support system necessary to develop her career. Starting in Latin American pocketbike competitions, she quickly progressed through the ranks with methodical determination. Her daily training regimen under ITALIKA Racing’s guidance, combined with the mentorship of team director Jorge Perez, laid the foundation for her historic championship victories that would make her a trailblazer for Colombian women in motorsports.

REPUTATION
Known for her unwavering dedication and resilience, Sara has earned respect for her “determined character” and ability to “fight hard” even when facing setbacks. Her first season on the world stage in 2024 included an injury, but her response demonstrated the mental toughness that carried her through her championship victories. She approaches racing with 100% commitment, stating: “I’m really passionate about racing and I dedicate myself 100%. I want to achieve something big in this sport and thanks to the support that ITALIKA Racing gave me, I’ve made it here and I never lacked for anything.”
