Bassani Racing—previously known as RC3 Bassani and Full Time Bassani—is a professional racing outfit from Brazil, headquartered in Itu, São Paulo. Presently competing under the name Starrett Bassani, the team participates in the F4 Brazilian Championship and has an extensive background in series such as the Stock Car Pro Series, F3 Sudamericana, and Formula Renault 2.0.
Established in 2002 by Eduardo Bassani, the team quickly secured victories in Formula 3 Sudamericana and Formula Renault 2.0 Brazil. Bassani Racing made its first appearance in Stock Car Brasil during the 2003 season. In 2005, the team underwent a rebranding to RC3 Bassani following the partnership with Brazilian football icon Roberto Carlos, who became co-owner until 2014. Between 2017 and 2022, it functioned as a division of Full Time Sports, operating under the name Full Time Bassani. Ahead of its entry into F4 Brazil in 2023, the organization returned to its original Bassani Racing identity.
Among its significant achievements are championship titles secured by Sérgio Jimenez (2002) and Nelson Merlo (2005) in Formula Renault 2.0 Brazil, along with Nelson Merlo’s triumph in the Formula 3 Sudamericana championship in 2008.
