“Joining the Wolf Academy is a very important step for me. It’s a highly professional environment where I can continue to grow and improve. After last year’s experience in the CISP, I feel I still have a lot to prove and I’m determined to fight for increasingly ambitious results. I would like to thank Wolf Racing Cars for their trust and Team Bad Wolves for this opportunity.” — Luca Verdi

“Luca is a young driver but already very mature, with an extremely interesting racing background. He has shown speed, adaptability, and great determination. His entry into the Wolf Academy perfectly reflects our philosophy: to support and develop talents who can become the future stars of motorsport.” — Giovanni Bellarosa

2026 targets
With a full season of CISP experience under his belt and the support of the Wolf Academy, Luca Verdi heads into 2026 with clear goals: to confirm his potential, remain consistently competitive, and fight at the front of the field.
For Wolf Racing Cars, his addition represents another key step in their commitment to nurturing young drivers and further developing the Italian Sport Prototypes Championship.

Wolf Racing Cars is pleased to announce the entry of young Czech talent Richard Sopuch into the 2026 Italian Sport Prototypes Championship (CISP), further confirming its commitment to developing the next generation of drivers through the Wolf Academy.

Born in Prague (Czech Republic) on November 14th, 2008, Sopuch is regarded as one of the most promising emerging talents on the international scene. His racing career has been defined by steady progression, built through significant experience in both traditional karting and sim racing—now an integral part of modern driver development.

Richard began his training in rental karting at the age of 8, immediately showing strong discipline and driving sensitivity. At 11, he invested in his first sim racing setup, starting a dual pathway between real and virtual racing that continues to this day, with active participation in online competitions.

Since 2023, he has competed in the Tillotson T4 series across the Czech Republic and Poland. He has also taken part in several endurance events within the Sodi World Series—including the prestigious 24h E.K.T. of Jesolo in 2024—demonstrating consistency, stamina, and strong race management skills.

In 2025, Sopuch attended the F4 Central European Zone Academy at Most, finishing 3rd out of 13 drivers and standing out for his technical ability and work ethic. During the programme, he also tested the Tatuus F4-T421 Formula 4 car. His performance did not go unnoticed, with Academy coaches and mentors praising his ability to absorb and apply feedback, along with his precise and communicative driving style.

Thanks to his racing license, he has also gained experience with high-performance road cars, driving the family BMW M2 CS during track days at iconic circuits such as Spa-Francorchamps and Most, as well as participating as a co-driver in sessions on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. His long-term goal is clear: to build a career in high-downforce prototype racing, with the ultimate ambition of competing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

In 2026, Sopuch will compete in the Italian Sport Prototypes Championship at the wheel of a Wolf GB08 Raiden, following his selection for the Wolf Academy and his participation in the 2026 Steering Wheel Award, where he finished among the top 10 finalists.

Within the Academy programme, Richard has already impressed with his highly professional approach—focused, detail-oriented, and strongly committed to continuous improvement—qualities that point towards significant development potential.

“Joining the Wolf Academy and competing in the Italian Sport Prototypes Championship is an incredible opportunity for me,” said Richard Sopuch. “I’ve been working towards racing high-level cars since I was a kid, and prototypes are my ultimate target. I want to learn as much as possible, improve race by race, and prove my value on track.”

“Richard perfectly represents the type of driver we want to invest in,” commented Giovanni Bellarosa, COO of Wolf Racing Cars. “He is young, determined, and has a great ability to learn. His background, combining karting, real racing and sim racing, reflects the modern motorsport landscape. We are confident that within the Wolf Academy he will be able to fully express his potential and build a strong foundation for his future in prototype racing.”

With Sopuch joining the programme, Wolf Racing Cars continues to strengthen its role not only as a leading manufacturer, but also as a development platform for emerging international motorsport talent.

Wolf Racing Cars and BOSS GP Racing Series unveil the new Wolf GB08 Sonik

Wolf Racing Cars marks its return to the open-wheel single-seater segment more than forty years after its Formula 1 World Championship campaign between 1977 and 1980, with the unveiling of the all-new Wolf GB08 Sonik — a car engineered for ultimate performance and primarily designed to compete in the BOSS GP Racing Series.

The GB08 Sonik has been developed with a clear objective: to provide teams and drivers with a modern, high-performance single-seater optimized for the BOSS GP environment, while maintaining a high level of operational accessibility. The project targets both championship front-runners and drivers seeking an extreme machine capable of delivering a top-tier driving experience.

From a technical standpoint, the Wolf GB08 Sonik features dimensions in line with the latest generation of Formula 1 cars and is powered by a 5.2-litre Ford V8 engine paired with a 6-speed transverse gearbox, both developed within the Wolf Powertrains range. The car can be configured with either 13-inch or 18-inch tyres, offering flexibility depending on usage requirements and championship specifications.

“We are pleased to collaborate with BOSS GP and strongly believe in the growth of the series. This was the key factor behind the development of a single-seater that fully represents Wolf Racing Cars’ know-how,” said Giovanni Bellarosa, Owner of Wolf Racing Cars. “The car will be available in two versions: one specifically designed for BOSS GP competition with 13-inch tyres, and an alternative configuration featuring 18-inch tyres and a powertrain capable of delivering up to 1,050 horsepower.”

Keke Platzer, the Championship Coordinator of the BOSS GP Racing Series, commented: ‘It’s great to see a highly decorated racing car manufacturer like Wolf Racing Cars decide to take part in BOSS GP. This project further strengthens the positioning of our series as a unique platform for big open single-seaters from the last two to three decades, and opens up new opportunities for growth within the championship.”

With the GB08 Sonik, Wolf Racing Cars expands its lineup and reinforces its commitment to the development of high-performance racing machinery, offering a concrete solution for those aiming to compete at the highest level in a competitive and ever-evolving environment such as the BOSS GP Racing Series.

The Italian Sport Prototypes Championship continues its growth ahead of the 2026 season with the addition of Brothers in Arms, a well-established and highly respected name in Italian motorsport, ready to open a new chapter in its history alongside Wolf Racing Cars.

Founded in 2019 by Adriano and Claudio, Brothers in Arms is built on the legacy of the historic Gentili Corse, established in 1960 by their father Antonio. A journey shaped through karting, Formula racing and touring cars, leading the team to secure multiple Italian and European titles, collaborate with leading organizations, and support the development of over 300 drivers.

Over the years, Brothers in Arms has also stood out for its ability to develop innovative projects, launching successful entry-level championships such as the C1 Cup and Five Hundred Cup Italia, both of which have become key reference platforms for driver development.

The move into the Italian Sport Prototypes Championship represents both a strategic step and a new challenge, marking the team’s return beyond touring cars with a clear objective: to work with young talents and guide them through a complete, all-round development pathway.

“We are excited to join the Italian Sport Prototypes Championship. We thrive on new challenges and have been following the series with great interest for some time, also drawn by the performance and potential of the Wolf GB08 Raiden, an outstanding race car. This project marks a new chapter for us, allowing us to work closely with young drivers, supporting their all-round development and helping them achieve important milestones together. We are also pleased to collaborate with the Bellarosa family on a solid, long-term project.” — Brothers in Arms

Giovanni Bellarosa, Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Wolf Racing Cars, added: “We are proud to welcome Brothers in Arms to the Italian Sport Prototypes Championship. This is a team with a strong heritage, proven expertise, and a clear commitment to driver development. Their entry further confirms the growing appeal of our championship and the strength of the Wolf project. We are confident this collaboration will bring significant value both on track and in the progression of young talents.”

With the addition of Brothers in Arms, the 2026 grid continues to strengthen, confirming the Italian Sport Prototypes Championship as one of the most attractive platforms for teams and drivers focused on performance and development.

Among the young drivers selected for the Wolf Academy development program for 2026 is Alex Rad, a Romanian talent born on October 5, 2010 in Zalau, who is ready to begin a new chapter of his motorsport career behind the wheel of the Wolf GB08 Raiden in the Italian Sport Prototypes Championship.

Passionate about racing from an early age, Rad has built his racing career through steady progression in karting, standing out both nationally and internationally thanks to strong results and participation in some of the most prestigious championships on the global karting scene.

Among his first major achievements was victory in the 2021 International Karting Masters in the Mini category, an international title that immediately highlighted his talent and on-track speed. In the same year he also secured second place in the Karting Masters Championship, confirming himself as one of the leading contenders at national level as well.

In the following years, Rad continued to compete in some of the most competitive environments in international karting, regularly taking part between 2022 and 2025 in high-level series such as WSK, the FIA Karting Championship, and Champions of the Future. At the same time, he achieved strong results in national competitions, finishing runner-up twice in the National Junior Championship between 2022 and 2025, demonstrating impressive consistency in performance.

The 2025 season marked his first step toward single-seater racing, thanks to test sessions carried out with a Formula 4 car—an experience that represented the beginning of his transition from karting to race cars.

In 2026, Alex Rad officially joins the Wolf Academy, the young driver development program promoted by Wolf Racing Cars, designed to support promising talents as they move toward professional motorsport.

The upcoming season will represent an important opportunity for the young Romanian driver to further develop technically and competitively, contesting the full championship at the wheel of the Wolf GB08 Raiden while working closely with the engineers and technicians of the Italian manufacturer to build experience, speed and on-track maturity.

“Joining the Wolf Racing Academy is a very important step in my career,” commented Alex Rad. “After my years in karting and the first tests in single-seaters, I’m very motivated to start this new chapter with Sport Prototype cars. I know it will be a demanding season, but I’m ready to work hard, learn as much as possible and keep improving as a driver.”

Giovanni Bellarosa, founder and CEO of Wolf Racing Cars, also expressed his satisfaction: “Alex comes from a highly competitive international karting background and has shown strong speed and great determination. At the Wolf Academy we look for young drivers with talent but, above all, with the right mindset to follow a structured development path. We are pleased to welcome him into the program and support him in his first steps in the Italian Sport Prototypes Championship.”

Rad’s debut in the Italian Sport Prototypes Championship therefore marks the beginning of a new phase in his career, as he aims to continue his development in the world of racing with ambition and strong motivation.

In less than two years, Andrea Dell’Edera has progressed from rental karting to single-seaters and prototype machinery. Now the Italian driver from Arenzano is set to make his debut in the 2026 Italian Sport Prototypes Championship as an official Avelon Formula driver — the on-track reference structure for Wolf Racing Cars — at the wheel of the Wolf GB08 Raiden.

A rapid rise through the ranks
Born in Genoa on August 18, 2009, Dell’Edera has experienced one of the fastest and most significant development curves in recent Italian motorsport.

After debuting in 2023 in Rental Kart and the Briggs Kart Championship — immediately securing wins and podium finishes — he stepped up to competitive karting in 2024, delivering standout results:

3rd place – Rotax Max Challenge National Finals (Franciacorta)

2nd place – Rotax Switzerland Winter Cup

In 2025, he accelerated his trajectory even further. After just one season, he earned his International Racing License, debuted in Formula X Pro, and achieved:

Victory at Vallelunga

Podium finishes at Imola and Misano

2nd overall in class — the youngest driver on the grid — under ACI mentorship

A progression that caught the attention of ACI Sport and Wolf Racing Cars, culminating in his official selection for the Italian Sport Prototypes Championship.

Steering Wheel Award: official selection
In November 2025, Dell’Edera competed in the Steering Wheel Award, immediately standing out among the field.

He finished in the overall Top 3 out of more than 33 drivers from 10 nations, following a selection process based on performance data analysis, technical evaluation, and psycho-physical testing.

His ability to adapt quickly to the Wolf GB08 Raiden, combined with a highly analytical approach in technical debriefs with engineers, proved decisive.

Official Driver and technical development role
In 2026, Dell’Edera will compete as an official Avelon Formula driver in the Italian Sport Prototypes Championship, with direct involvement in the car’s technical development — a role that highlights his sensitivity, precision, and quality of feedback.

“The move to prototypes represents an important responsibility for me,” commented Andrea Dell’Edera. “My goal is to improve race by race, working methodically with the team and contributing to the car’s development. Entering the Italian Sport Prototypes Championship with Wolf Racing Cars is a major technical and professional step.”

Testing: consistency and performance
Preparation began with four intensive test days at Binetto, the first official round of the Wolf Academy program. Dell’Edera topped the timesheets, demonstrating consistency over long runs, strong race simulations, and high-level technical communication with engineers.
Testing continued on February 11 and 13 at Varano de’ Melegari, where drivers were split into groups to maximize individual development work on the Wolf GB08 Raiden.
On the dry running day, Dell’Edera set the benchmark lap time in an extremely tight session. Beyond outright pace, the focus centered on balance optimization, tire management, and start procedures.

Giovanni Bellarosa, Founder of Wolf Racing Cars, stated: “Andrea has an exceptional learning curve. In a very short time, he’s gone from rental karting to being competitive in single-seaters and prototypes. We were impressed by his technical approach, the precision of his feedback, and his maturity in managing track work. His role in the Italian Sport Prototypes Championship will not be limited to racing — he will also actively contribute to the car’s development.”

Polish rising star Iwo Beszterda, 16, is set to make his debut in the 2026 Italian Sport Prototypes Championship (CISP) after being selected through the Steering Wheel Award promoted by Wolf Racing Cars and joining the Wolf Academy programme.

An International talent developed between Poland and Italy

Steering Wheel Award and entry into the Wolf Academy
Participation in the Steering Wheel Award marked another key step forward. Iwo impressed the technical panel with his natural speed, refined grip management and strong composure in comparative sessions—qualities that earned him selection and a place within the Wolf Academy.

CISP Debut: a strategic step forward
The 2026 season will mark Beszterda’s structured transition to prototype racing with his debut in the Italian Sport Prototypes Championship—an important strategic milestone in his international development pathway.

“The Italian Sport Prototypes Championship represents a very important step for me. After karting and my first single-seater experiences, I want to keep progressing in such a technical and competitive environment. I’m ready to take on this new challenge with maximum focus,” commented Iwo Beszterda.

On-Track preparation: Binetto and Varano
Following initial classroom activities at the Wolf Racing Cars headquarters, Iwo began his on-track preparation with test sessions at Binetto as part of the Academy programme.

The work then continued at the Riccardo Paletti circuit in Varano de’ Melegari, where drivers were split into two groups to maximise individual development time aboard the Wolf GB08 Raiden ahead of the 2026 CISP campaign.

In wet conditions, Beszterda set the benchmark lap time of the day, standing out for his grip management, braking sensitivity and ability to interpret the evolving track surface as it dried—an especially valuable proving ground that underlined his technical maturity.

Beyond outright pace, the focus was on long-run simulations, start procedures, tyre management and technical debriefing with engineers—fundamental elements in the build-up to his season debut.

Giovanni Bellarosa, Founder of Wolf Racing Cars, stated: “Iwo is a driver with a very solid international background. At Varano he demonstrated great sensitivity in difficult conditions—an essential quality in prototype racing. His path towards the Italian Sport Prototypes Championship is built on very strong technical foundations.”

The Wolf Academy’s development program continues full throttle. After the inaugural tests at Binetto, Wolf Racing Cars’ young talents returned to the track on Wednesday, February 11, and Friday, February 13 at Varano de’ Melegari, tackling two intense days on the technical Emilia-Romagna circuit dedicated to Riccardo Paletti.

The program split the drivers into two groups: four on track Wednesday, three on Friday, maximizing individual seat time and allowing each driver to focus on specific aspects of driving and setup of the Wolf GB08 Raiden in preparation for the 2026 Italian Sport Prototypes Championship.

Wednesday’s session took place under wet conditions, a particularly formative challenge for the young drivers. On the damp track, Polish driver Iwo Beszterda set the fastest lap ahead of Czech driver Richard Sopuch. Beyond raw lap times, both focused on mastering grip management, braking sensitivity, and reading the track as it evolved and dried.

Friday brought completely different conditions: dry asphalt and more favorable temperatures allowed the team to concentrate on optimizing car balance and chasing outright performance. Andrea Dell’Edera was the quickest, edging out Filippo Pola after a tightly contested session.

Beyond the lap times, the technical staff maintained the structured program: long-run simulations, start procedure drills, tire management, and refining the driver-engineer communication loop. A well-planned approach that reinforces Wolf Racing Cars’ commitment to developing drivers both technically and mentally.

“I’m really happy with the work we did in the wet,” commented Iwo Beszterda. “It wasn’t an easy condition, but that’s exactly why it was so important to understand the car better and improve my feel. With the team, we’re building something solid ahead of the championship.”

Andrea Dell’Edera added: “Friday was a big step forward in the dry. Lap times are just a consequence—what matters is the feeling, which grows lap after lap. The Academy is putting us in the best possible position for the first race.”

Summing up, Giovanni Bellarosa said: “These tests confirm the value of the Wolf Academy project. Seeing the drivers work professionally, adapt to different conditions, and grow quickly is the most important takeaway. Our goal is not just to train fast drivers, but to build complete professionals. We’re on the right track.”

Sarezzo (BS), February 10 – Alex Laghezza, a young Italian driver born in 2009, is ready to make his debut in the 2026 Italian Sport Prototypes Championship after being selected through the Steering Wheel Award promoted by Wolf Racing Cars and joining the Wolf Academy development programme.
