Career

[edit]

Karting

[edit]

Clerot started his racing career in karting in 2016. In a short time, he was proclaimed three-time champion of Brasilia, in the 2018, 2019 and 2021 seasons and won the Brazil Open Cup twice in 2020 and 2021.[2]

Formula 4

[edit]

2022

[edit]

In 2022, Full Time Sports announced that Clerot would compete in the inaugural season of the F4 Brazilian Championship in 2022, where in 18 races, he won 7 races, and scored 4 pole positions, 7 fastest laps, 11 podiums and add 276 points. As a result, he became the first driver's champion of the new F4 championship.[3][4] Clerot also participated in the FIA Motorsport Games in the Formula 4 category with Team Brazil,[5][6] managing to qualify twice in fourth place. However, he finished in ninth position in the main race due to a 5-second penalty for having exceeded the limits of the track on 6 different occasions.[7]

2023

On 6 December 2022, it was announced that Clerot signed with MP Motorsport for the 2023 F4 Spanish Championship.[8] He competed with that team in the 2023 Formula 4 UAE Championship.[9] Clerot had a dream start to his Spanish F4 campaign, taking a double win during the opening round in Spa-Francorchamps.[10][11] He followed with a second place in Race 3, to comfortably lead the standings.[12] However, this proved to be a false dawn as he failed to win or even make the podium throughout the rest of the year. By the end of the season, Clerot dropped to sixth in the standings, with 151 points.

Formula Regional

[edit]

Clerot participated in the first two rounds of the Formula Regional Middle East Championship with Saintéloc Racing.[13] Taking a best finish of 14th, he was ranked 28th in the standings.[14]

For 2024, Clerot stepped to the Formula Regional European Championship with Van Amersfoort Racing.[15]
