Néstor Adrián Girolami (born May 22, 1989), commonly known by the nickname "Bebu", is a professional racing driver from Argentina. His sibling, Franco Girolami, also competes professionally in motorsports.

Career

Girolami's racing journey began with karting in 1993, a pursuit he maintained until 2005. He made his entry into Formula Renault Argentina in 2006 and finished as the runner-up in both Formula Renault and Formula Renault Plus categories the following year.

In 2007, he stepped into the TC 2000 championship, including a period driving for the official Honda Argentina squad. The subsequent year, 2008, saw him compete in TC Pista and Turismo Nacional. He returned to TC 2000 in 2009 while simultaneously debuting in Turismo Carretera and Top Race V6.

During the 2011 Turismo Carretera season, Girolami achieved his inaugural victory and qualified for the playoffs; however, later that year he was involved in the tragic accident that claimed Guido Falaschi’s life. A severe crash in 2013 resulted in his suspension and departure from the series.

Girolami represented factory teams of Honda and Renault within TC 2000 before switching to Peugeot in 2012, where he secured two wins that year. He captured the Súper TC2000 championship titles consecutively in 2014 and 2015, accumulating seven victories overall. Following this success, he transitioned to participate full-time in Stock Car Brasil.

His debut in the World Touring Car Championship occurred at the 2015 Slovakia round with NIKA Racing, where he earned points on his first outing. Racing for Polestar Cyan Racing in 2017, Girolami notched his first WTCC victory at the event held in China. After Polestar withdrew from competition, he returned to compete in Súper TC 2000 and Top Race V6 during 2018, finishing third in TRV6 standings behind his brother Franco and Agustín Canapino.

In 2019, Girolami joined Münnich Motorsport for the World Touring Car Cup, piloting a Honda Civic Type R TCR. That season featured three triumphs for him, including back-to-back wins at Hungarian rounds.
