ANDREADUPÉ

Andrea Charles Dupé Sebe was born on 12 July 2008 in Paris. From the age of two, he showed a marked interest in motorsport and racing cars, in a family environment where the discipline was appreciated without forming a true motorsport culture. This passion, entirely personal, quickly took hold and shaped his entire career path.

At nine, he got behind the wheel of a kart for the first time. Within a few months, he was practising regularly, then competing.

His early years took place in Spain, in the regional championship with RC2 Team (Marc Ribas), then in the national championship with Kids to Win (José Luis Bermúdez). In 2021, he joined the Italian national championship with RSG Team (Renato Merlin) and entered the European IAME X30 Championship with Team Driver (Devid De Luchi). Spotted by Jean-Philippe Guignet, he joined the official Sodi Factory Team in 2022. He qualified third at the CIK-FIA European Championship in Franciacorta, then at the CIK-FIA World Championship in Sarno.

In 2023, Andrea joined Kart Republic, the team led by Dino Chiesa, mentor to Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg and Kimi Antonelli. He regularly featured in the top 5, secured his first pole positions in international competition and claimed the title of vice-champion of Italy in the OK category. That same year, he qualified fourth at the World Championship but finished 23rd in the final following a crash a few laps from the finish.

In 2024, he joined Prema Racing Kart. Surgery kept him off the circuits during the first half of the season. On his return, he secured a third-place qualifying and an eighth-place finish in a European Championship round. That same year, he was selected by the Richard Mille Young Talent Academy, posting the fastest time in the pre-selection tests at Alcarràs and finishing fourth in the final shootout at Jerez.

At the end of 2024, Andrea completed his first single-seater tests with AKM (Marco Antonelli), coached by Kimi Antonelli, Mercedes F1 driver. He made his F4 debut in 2025 with AS Motorsport in the Formula Winter Series, before returning to Prema Racing for the Italian and European F4 Championships. Run by the Rosin family, Prema counts among its former drivers Charles Leclerc, Pierre Gasly and Oscar Piastri.

For 2026, Andrea enters the FIA Formula Regional European Championship with Van Amersfoort Racing, after a pre-season with G4 Racing in the Formula Regional Middle East Trophy. He is coached by Bruno Besson, former French driver and European F3 Champion, and managed by Jérémy Satis and Guillaume Le Goff at The Grid Agency, which also represents Pierre Gasly and Isack Hadjar.
