Robert Arana Proves Merit As Top Prospect

November 3, 2026

SAN ANTONIO TEEN WAS THE YOUNGEST FORMULA 3 DRIVER IN THE WORLD WHEN HE JOINED THE FORMULA REGIONAL AMERICAS GRID AT NEW JERSEY

 

Kimi Antonelli became the youngest Formula One World Champion this week as a 20 year old. His impressive success at such a young age is proof positive of the merits of a well planned and executed young race car driver development program.

Now age 16, Robert Arana began his young race car driver development program by attending one of the JENSEN team's F4 Racing Camp programs in April 2025. Then, Robert was a shy and nervous 14 year old.

18 months into his development program Robert's resume now includes competing in three race weekends in the Formula Regional Americas Championship, which is the top level American junior race series on the FIA Formula One Championship's young driver development ladder.

Robert also accomplished a great deal in his rookie season racing cars, including winning in his debut race competing in the Formula PRO USA F4 California series at Sonoma Raceway near San Francisco California in September 2025.

Off the track academically Robert is as impressive as any parent could hope. He is a Member of the National Honor Society as a Grade 11 student attending Central Catholic High School in San Antonio, Texas.

Robert is also a 2nd Lieutenant in his school's Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps, which is a youth program sponsored by the United States Armed Forces to teach students leadership,. citizenship, and character development.

JENSEN team owner Eric Jensen insights, "Looking back on our many good days together, one clear highlight was seeing Robert's charismatic smile while mingling with our team guests after his last Formula 3 race at Barber Motorsports Park. Being fast on track is an obvious pre-requisite for kids who aspire to become paid professional race car drivers. But racing is an entertainment business, so what will set Robert at the front of the line is his character that will make him a fan favorite for years to come."

Robert's next team activity will be very special. Red Bull has contracted JENSEN to utilize the team's four Formula 4 race cars for their VIP guest event during the Las Vegas Grand Prix Formula One race weekend in November. Robert will play a key role where he will be showing Red Bull VIP guests how to start and operate the team's F4 race cars as part of the brand's marketing program.
