Born in Capua to an Italian-Canadian father and a Swiss-born Italian mother, Festante began racing single-seaters in 2016, reaching Euroformula Open before moving on to one-make Porsche competition in late 2019 and becoming a mainstay in Porsche Carrera Cup Italy since. He was the 2020 GT Cup Open Europe champion.

Career

Festante made his single-seater debut in 2016, racing for Mücke Motorsport in the Italian F4 Championship.[1][2] In his first season in the series, Festante scored a best finish of tenth in race one at Adria to end the year 32nd in points.[3] Switching to DR Formula for the following season,[4] Festante scored a lone podium from pole in race three at Vallelunga, but wasn't classified in the final standings as he didn't race in the final round.[5] In parallel, Festante raced in the first four rounds of the French F4 Championship, taking a best result of seventh in race three at Monza.[6]

Stepping up to Euroformula Open in 2018, Festante joined RP Motorsport for his rookie season in the series.[7] After racing with them through the first two rounds and scoring a best result of fifth in race one at Le Castellet,[8] Festante switched to Fortec Motorsports for the next two rounds,[9] before completing the season with Teo Martín Motorsport en route to a ninth-place points finish.[10] Returning to the latter for 2019,[11] Festante scored a best result of eighth twice,[12] before leaving the team with three rounds to go to compete in the final three rounds of Porsche Carrera Cup Italy for Ombra Racing.[13]

Remaining with Ombra Racing on a full-time basis for 2020, Festante raced with them in both Porsche Carrera Cup Italy and GT Cup Open Europe.[14] In the former, Festante scored his maiden series win at Monza to take fourth in points,[15] whereas in the latter, he won eight times as he clinched the overall and Pro-Am titles.[16] Staying with the team for his second full-time season in Carrera Cup Italy the following year,[17] Festante took a best result of fourth in race one at Mugello as he ended the year 13th in the overall standings.[18] Another season in Porsche Carrera Cup Italy then ensued, in which Festante drove for Raptor Engineering to a second consecutive 13th-place points finish,[19] with a best result of fifth in race two at Misano.[20]

Festante racing for Dinamic at the Hockenheim round of PCCD in 2023.

Switching to Dinamic Motorsport to continue in Porsche Carrera Cup Italy for 2023, Festante scored a best result of fourth in race one at Vallelunga to take ninth in points.[21] Continuing with Dinamic for 2024, Festante raced with them in both Porsche Carrera Cup Italy and Porsche Supercup.[22][23] In the former, Festante was 10th in points with a best result of fourth in race two at Mugello,[24] whereas in the latter, he was 17th with a best result of tenth at the season-opening race at Imola.[25] Returning for a similar campaign in 2025,[26] Festante most notably scored a double podium at Vallelunga in the Italian series en route to a seventh-place points finish, but slipped to 19th in Porsche Supercup.[27]

The following year, Festante switched to Target Competition for a triple campaign in Porsche Carrera Cup Italy, Porsche Carrera Cup Germany and Porsche Supercup.[28]
