Claudio Langes

Claudio Langes, born on August 4, 1961, is a former racing driver hailing from Italy. His journey in motorsport began in 1978 when he clinched the Italian 125 cc go-kart championship, showcasing his early talent and passion for racing.

Following his success in karting, Langes progressed to compete in Formula 3 and later in Formula 3000. His most notable achievement in this category came in 1989, where he secured a commendable second place at the Pergusa-Enna circuit while driving a Lola Formula 3000.

In 1990, Langes made his debut in Formula One with the EuroBrun team. Unfortunately, his time in the sport was marked by challenges, as he failed to pre-qualify for all fourteen Grands Prix he entered, a record that still stands. Despite his struggles, Langes remained a determined competitor, often finding himself several seconds behind his teammate, Roberto Moreno, before the team ultimately ceased operations due to financial difficulties.

After his stint in Formula One, Langes transitioned to touring car racing, continuing to pursue his passion for motorsport.
