Alfonso ("Picho") Toledano Jr. (born 18 August 1989 in Mexico City) is a professional Mexican racing driver and the son of Alfonso Toledano, a former competitor in Formula 3.

Career

Toledano launched his motorsport journey in karting, securing second place in the 100cc category in 2003, ahead of future Formula One competitor Sergio Pérez, and went on to claim the championship title in 2004. His transition to formula racing occurred in 2005, where he achieved tenth position in the Formula Renault Campus series.

In 2006, Toledano participated in the Panam GP Series, concluding the season in thirteenth place, and also took part in three rounds of the International Formula Challenge, ultimately finishing seventh overall. The following year, his performance in the Panam GP Series improved significantly with two victories and a third-place finish in the overall standings. Unfortunately, during a pre-season test session for A1 Team Mexico held in Ponce, Puerto Rico, he suffered a major crash resulting in multiple fractures to his legs.

Following an extensive recovery involving eighteen surgical procedures and nearly ten months of immobilization, Toledano made a comeback to racing in 2008. That year, he competed sporadically in both Formula BMW USA and the Formula BMW Pacific Series, gearing up for the 2008 World Final at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez where he ended the event sixteenth.

After a hiatus from competitive racing, he returned to testing activities for the GP3 Series in 2011. The next year, Toledano re-entered the Panam GP Series, achieving fifteenth and thirteenth places in early season events. In 2013, he recorded eighteenth and fourteenth positions during the summer and winter editions of the Panam GP championship respectively.

In 2014, Toledano transitioned to compete in Formula Acceleration 1 representing Acceleration Team Mexico, concluding the season twelfth overall in the championship standings.
