Genaro "Gino" Trappa (born 18 April 2008) is an Argentine racing driver currently competing for Drivex in the F4 Spanish Championship.

Career

Karting and Formula 4 debut (2022–2024)

Born in San Isidro, Buenos Aires, Trappa began karting in 2022. ^[1] In his brief karting career, Trappa won the 2023 LeVanto Trophy in the Rok Cup Superfinal and was the vice-champion in both the Rotax Winter Trophy USA and the IAME Series Argentina the same year. ^{[2] [3] [4]}

After testing Formula 4 machinery with Bassani Racing in 2023, ^[5] Trappa signed with them to make his single-seater debut in the 2024 F4 Brazilian Championship. ^[6] Taking his first series podium by finishing third at Mogi Guaçu, ^[7] Trappa followed that up with his only win of the season in the following round at Interlagos in race two, before finishing third in race three. ^{[8] [9]} In the remaining five rounds, Trappa took three more podiums with a best result of second at Goiânia, helping him secure fifth in points in his only season in the series. ^[10] During 2024, Trappa also represented Argentina at the FIA Motorsport Games Formula 4 Cup and made a one-off appearance for Drivex in the F4 Spanish Championship. ^{[11] [12]}

Maiden single-seater title and Euroformula Open debut (2025)

The following year, Trappa returned to Drivex to race in both the Eurocup-4 Spanish Winter Championship and 2025 F4 Spanish Championships, ^[13] whilst also joining Jenzer Motorsport to compete in the Formula 4 CEZ Championship. ^[14]

After just taking one points finish in the winter, an eighth at Algarve, ^[15] Trappa began the main season by taking his maiden series points in race three at Aragón. ^[16] Two rounds later at Algarve, Trappa scored two more points finished by taking tenth and ninth in the first two races. ^[17]

In the CEZ series, Trappa opened up the season by finishing second in all three races at the Red Bull Ring, ^[18] before taking his first two wins of the season at the same venue a month later. ^[19] Trappa won race three at Salzburgring while finishing second in the other two races, ^[20] prior to scoring two consecutive wins in the following round at Most to extend his championship lead. ^[21] Despite scoring a win in the following round at Slovakia Ring, Trappa's points lead was cut down to 54 points with one round left after finishing no higher than eighth in the other two races. ^[22] Trappa then finished outside of the podium in all three races at Brno, but was able to clinch the title in the season-finale after finishing fifth in race three. ^[23]

During the winter, Trappa also raced for Van Amersfoort Racing in two rounds of the Formula Winter Series, ^[24] taking a best result of tenth in race one at Valencia. ^[25] Later that year, Trappa also made a one-off appearance in the Euroformula Open Championship for Nielsen Racing. ^[26] Racing at Le Castellet, Trappa scored a best result of fifth in race three. ^[27]
