Career

Moreno started karting at the age of five after being influenced by his father, Santiago Moreno, a former racing driver. [1] Racing in karts until 2021, [2] Moreno most notably won the 2014 Rotax Max Challenge Colombia title. [3] Moreno then made his car racing debut in 2021, racing in the TC 2000 Colombia series in the TC Class A category, taking a class win in his first season in cars. [4] Moreno then continued in the series in 2022, [5] a year in which he became the youngest winner of the 6 Hours of Bogotá, winning it in both the Prototype and Grand Touring classes. [6] [7] Also that year, Moreno made his single-seater debut for Ram Racing in the NACAM Formula 4 Championship. Racing in non-championship round at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, Moreno took both poles and won all three races. [8]

In 2023, Moreno returned to Ram Racing to compete in his first full season in the NACAM Formula 4 Championship. [9] In the first round at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, Moreno won the first two races but exited the round second in points after finishing seventh in race two. [10] Moreno then regained the points lead after winning race three at Querétaro, [11] before winning all six races across the two rounds at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, [12] [13] and ending his eight-race win streak in the second Querétaro round in September. [14] In the following round at Puebla, Moreno finished on the podium in all three races, including a win in race two, to clinch the title with a round to spare ahead of Cristian Cantú. [15] At the end of the year, Moreno took part in the Ferrari Driver Academy scouting world finals. [16]

Moreno then switched to sports car racing the following year, racing for Team Virage in the JS P4 class of the Ligier European Series. [17] After taking two poles in the first two rounds and scoring a second place finish on his debut at Barcelona, [18] Moreno took his maiden series win at Le Mans. [19] In the remaining three rounds, Moreno won at Mugello and Algarve en route to a fourth place points finish at season's end. [20] [21] At the end of 2024, Moreno partook in the European Le Mans Series post-season tests, in which he tested LMP3 machinery for Team Virage. [22]

After sitting most of 2025 on the sidelines, Moreno returned to racing in September of that year, competing in the 992 Endurance Cup for HRT Performance, [23] finishing fourth overall and third in the Pro class in the 12 hour endurance. [24] [25] Moreno then joined Bretton Racing to make his LMP3 debut at the Silverstone round of the Michelin Le Mans Cup. [26]
