Sacha Fenestraz Jules (born 28 July 1999) is a French-Argentine professional racing driver currently competing in the 2025 Super Formula Championship with TOM'S Racing. He claimed the title in the 2017 Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series.

Karting

Fenestraz was born in Annecy, France into a French-Argentine family and grew up in Cordoba, Argentina. He began his karting journey in 2006 at the age of seven, participating in competitions throughout both France and Argentina.

Formula 4

In 2015, Fenestraz made the step up to single-seater racing by entering the French F4 Championship. During the season, he achieved three overall wins and eleven victories in the junior category, ultimately securing the Junior F4 championship and finishing as runner-up in the overall standings.

Formula Renault 2.0

The following year, Fenestraz joined the Formula Renault 2.0 championship with Tech 1 Racing. He earned his inaugural pole position at Monaco after the original pole sitter Lando Norris was excluded, converting it into a race win. He then took another pole and victory at Estoril, concluding the season fifth in the overall rankings. Additionally, he won a race and placed fifth in the Northern European Cup.

Following post-season testing at Estoril, Fenestraz signed with reigning champions Josef Kaufmann Racing for 2017. He clinched the championship before the final round by winning seven races and adding eleven further podium finishes. After securing this title, he was inducted into the Renault Sport Academy.

FIA European Formula 3 Championship

In September 2017, Fenestraz joined Carlin for the eighth round at the Nürburgring. He then competed full-time for Carlin in the 2018 season, where he recorded his first podium and victory during the second race of the Pau event, also achieving pole position and fastest lap there. He ended that season eleventh in the championship standings. Later, Fenestraz secured a third-place finish at the prestigious Macau Grand Prix.

GP3 Series

Fenestraz participated in the final two rounds of the 2018 GP3 Series driving for Arden International.

Japanese Formula 3

After losing support from Renault, Fenestraz relocated to Japan to compete in the Japanese Formula 3 Championship with B-Max Racing with Motopark. Engaged in a tight battle with TOM'S driver Ritomo Miyata, he claimed eight victories and wrapped up the championship at Motegi with one round remaining, becoming the first rookie champion since Nick Cassidy's triumph in 2015.

2020–2022

Fenestraz progressed to compete in Super Formula during the 2020 season with Kondo Racing. Due to Japan's border restrictions amid the pandemic, he only took part in the last three rounds that year. Continuing with Kondo Racing over subsequent seasons, he delivered his best performances to date in Super Formula — including his first race win at Sportsland SUGO and multiple podium finishes.

2025

Following his departure from Nissan's Formula E program, Fenestraz returned to Super Formula for 2025, joining TOM'S alongside defending champion Sho Tsuboi.

GT300

During the 2019 season, Fenestraz competed in the GT300 category with Kondo Racing, simultaneously participating in Japanese Formula 3. He secured several podium finishes and concluded the season ranked sixth overall.

GT500

In 2020, Fenestraz advanced to the GT500 division, joining Toyota Gazoo Racing's TGR TOM'S au squad. He replaced Kazuki Nakajima and teamed up with Yuhi Sekiguchi, achieving four podiums and ending the championship in fourth place. The subsequent year saw him switch to the KeePer vehicle alongside teammate Ryo Hirakawa. However, pandemic-induced travel restrictions limited his appearances to a single race, where he still managed a podium finish. Continuing with KeePer TOM'S in 2024, now partnered with new teammate Ritomo Miyata, the duo secured their inaugural GT500 victory at Fuji Speedway.

Looking ahead to 2025, Fenestraz will return to GT500 driving for SARD, reuniting with former teammate Yuhi Sekiguchi from 2020.

Formula E

In February 2020, Fenestraz took part in the Marrakesh rookie test for Panasonic Jaguar Racing, recording the fourth fastest time during morning sessions and placing tenth overall. The following year, he was appointed as Jaguar’s reserve driver for the season opener held in Riyadh.

2021–22 season

Fenestraz made his Formula E race debut in August 2022 at the second round of the Seoul ePrix, stepping in for Antonio Giovinazzi who was sidelined due to a hand injury.

2022–23 season

For the full 2023 Formula E World Championship campaign, Fenestraz joined Nissan alongside teammate Norman Nato. The season began positively with Fenestraz advancing to the knockout stage of qualifying at Mexico City ePrix, although he lost ground during the race itself. He earned his first championship points by finishing eighth in Diriyah’s second race, expressing satisfaction with this result. At Hyderabad, despite qualifying fourth, he was involved in a collision between two Jaguar Racing cars that prevented him from scoring points.

In Cape Town, Fenestraz claimed his first pole position by setting the fastest lap ever recorded in Formula E. Unfortunately, contact with Nick Cassidy on the final lap relegated him to 14th place. At Monaco, he initially took pole but was demoted to second after exceeding power limits during qualifying.

2023–24 season

Fenestraz remained with Nissan for the 2023–24 season, partnering with Oliver Rowland. Despite a promising rookie campaign, he was outperformed by Rowland and subsequently released by Nissan at the conclusion of the season.

Personal life

Fenestraz once shared accommodation in Guildford with fellow racing driver Lando Norris.
