Leo Marques

Léo Marques, 16, has been a karting driver since early 2023. Since a young age, he has had a burning passion for motorsport, although he did not have the opportunity to realize his dream of driving and becoming a champion until his parents gave him the chance in January 2023. Originally from the Paris region, Léo is now based in Lyon, where he trains on the Lyon-Actua Kart Métropole track, his reference in terms of training.
In his early races, Léo faced challenges including an uncooperative engine and a deficit of over 10 km/h to the peloton, but still managed to achieve some excellent results, including a sixth place at the prestigious Trophée Valentinois.
For the 2024 season, supported by his sponsors and driven by an ever-increasing desire to aim higher, Léo will take the start of many races with the ambition of achieving the best possible results. His determination, seriousness and commitment are reflected both in his way of driving and in his attitude on and off the track. This site invites you to dive into his world, to follow his progress and his battles throughout his career. Whether you are passionate about motorsport or simply curious to follow a young talent on the rise, you are in the right place!
