Kazimieras "Kazim" Vasiliauskas (born 2 August 1990) is a former Lithuanian race car driver.

Karting

Originating from Kaišiadorys, Vasiliauskas took part in kart racing competitions between 1999 and 2007. During this period, he earned multiple titles across Lithuania and the Baltic region, notably winning the Lithuanian Karting KF3 Championship in 2002 and the Lithuanian Karting KF1 Championship in 2005.

Formula Renault

In 2008, he advanced into formula racing, participating partially in both the Italian Formula Renault Championship and the Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup with Prema Powerteam. He concluded the Italian series in 21st place and did not accumulate points in the Eurocup, with his highest finish being sixteenth at Barcelona.

Formula Palmer Audi

During the 2009 Formula Palmer Audi Championship, Vasiliauskas secured two victories. However, his championship aspirations were cut short following a first-corner collision in the final race, resulting in a second-place overall finish behind Richard Plant.

Formula Two

In 2009, Vasiliauskas became Lithuania's inaugural competitor in the revived FIA Formula Two Championship. He placed seventh overall, claiming one victory and one pole position at Imola.

Despite losing his main sponsor shortly before the 2010 season commenced, he returned to F2. Although absent from pre-season testing, he achieved fifth and seventh positions at Silverstone. He earned pole positions at Brands Hatch and Valencia; a mechanical issue prevented him from converting his lead at Brands Hatch into a win, but he triumphed in the final race at Valencia, ending the season fourth overall.

After departing from F2 post-2010, Vasiliauskas did not secure a full-time seat in 2011, only competing in a Baltic endurance sportscar event. In 2012, citing difficulties securing sponsorship for higher-tier series such as GP2, he announced a transition to a legal career. To date, he remains Lithuania’s sole driver to have won races within an international open-wheel championship.
