Biography

Tomaselli began her professional career in Fórmula Junior Brasil, a category comparable to Formula Ford in other countries.[4] Following two seasons there, she would move up to Fórmula 4 Sudamericana, run to Formula Renault 1.6 regulations – where she finished fourth in her second season.[5][6]

She moved to the United States in 2017, joining the Road to Indy through the U.S. F2000 National Championship.[7] She undertook a part-time campaign initially, and signed with Team Pelfrey for a full-time campaign in 2018 – finishing 16th in the standings.[8] Tomaselli remained in U.S. F2000 in 2019, moving to Pabst Racing Services – improving to 8th overall with a top-five finish at Mid-Ohio.[9][10]

The Brazilian driver attempted to qualify for the W Series, a Formula 3 championship for female drivers, in 2019 but failed to pass the evaluation day for potential recruits.[11] She attempted to join the championship again for 2020, and would successfully join the 20-driver field.[12] Following the cancellation of the 2020 season, Tomaselli competed in the 2021 W Series driving for Veloce Racing, alongside eventual champion Jamie Chadwick. She managed two top-ten finishes in eight rounds, with 12 points overall, finishing 15th on the Driver's Championship.[13]
