In 2025, in only their second year in the USF Pro Championships Presented by Continental Tire, Zanella Racing and Leonardo Escorpioni achieved both of the goals that they’d set out for themselves in the off-season. Escorpioni won six races in the USF Juniors series enroute to the Driver Championship, while he and his teammates worked together to bring Zanella Racing the prestigious Team Championship as well. After celebrating with Zanella in 2025, the 15-year-old will remain with the Orlando, FL based operation for 2026, bringing his $250,000 scholarship with him as the team expands into the USF2000 series.

The 2026 edition is shaping up to have a clearly international profile in both admitted categories: PRO, dedicated to more experienced teams, and SILVER, designed for more amateur crews with all drivers over 18 years of age.
