Filip Salaquarda (born January 11, 1984, in Prague) is a professional racing driver hailing from the Czech Republic.

Early Years

Salaquarda launched his motorsport journey in 2000 by competing in the Czech Republic's Ford Puma Cup, where he secured third place overall. The following year, he took part in the Škoda Octavia Cup and finished 13th in the standings.

His transition to single-seater racing occurred in 2002 when he entered the German Formula BMW ADAC championship, concluding the season 21st. He showed progress in 2003 by moving up to 13th position and achieving a podium finish at Hockenheim.

Formula Three

In 2004, Salaquarda stepped up to Formula Three, competing in the German championship with the family-run ISR Racing team. He ended that year 11th overall with a total of 42 points. Between 2005 and 2007, he participated in the Formula 3 Euro Series, failing to score points during his initial two seasons. However, after joining HBR Motorsport in 2007, he managed to accumulate three points.

Additionally, he raced in prestigious events such as the Macau Grand Prix in 2005 and the Masters of Formula 3 competitions held in 2006 and 2007.

F3000 International Masters

During June 2006, Salaquarda took part in the Oschersleben round of the 2006 F3000 International Masters season representing Charouz Racing System. He achieved second place finishes in both races. Although his participation was limited to just two rounds, his point haul was sufficient to secure 12th place in the overall championship.

A1 Grand Prix

In April 2007, Salaquarda made his debut for A1 Team Czech Republic at Shanghai, stepping in for Jaroslav Janiš. He completed the sprint race in 17th position and finished tenth in the feature race, earning championship points. During the 2007–08 A1 Grand Prix season, he competed in the last six rounds with his best result being an 11th-place finish at Shanghai.

International Formula Master

At the conclusion of 2007, Salaquarda participated in the final round of the 2007 International Formula Master season at Monza under ISR Racing. The following year, he committed to a full season campaign and achieved a top finish of sixth place at Valencia, ultimately ranking 24th in the championship.

Le Mans Series

In May 2009, Salaquarda made a singular appearance in the 2009 Le Mans Series season during the Spa–Francorchamps event. Driving in the GT1 category for IPB Spartak Racing alongside teammates Peter Kox and Erik Janiš, their crew secured second place within their class and finished 15th overall.

Formula Renault 3.5 Series

Later that month, Salaquarda debuted in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series with RC Motorsport at Monaco, where he placed 21st. Subsequently, he transferred to Prema Powerteam for the rest of the season, attaining a best race finish of tenth at Portimão and concluding the year ranked 27th overall.

He continued racing in this series during 2010 with ISR Racing—now operating RC Motorsport’s entry—and improved his standing to finish eleventh overall. Notable achievements included earning two pole positions during his home round at Brno along with podium finishes at both Brno and Magny–Cours.

Additional Series

In 2008, Salaquarda signed with Brooks Associates Racing intending to compete full-time in the United States' 2008 Atlantic Championship season, but financial difficulties prevented this plan from materializing. He also debuted as a test driver for the GP2 Series in October 2009 by driving for Trident Racing during testing sessions at Spain’s Jerez circuit.
