Seventeen-year-old Chilean racer Agustín Sepúlveda made a strong international debut in Italy's FX Pro Series, finishing second in his first race at the Autódromo dell'Umbria in Magione. This achievement represents a key milestone in his burgeoning international career, building on his recent experience in the F4 CEZ.

Sepúlveda's path to the podium was not without significant challenges. Despite setting the fastest times in early practice sessions, he encountered engine problems on Friday. The team had to travel eight hours to Monza to secure a different prototype car, allowing him to continue competing.

Despite these setbacks, Sepúlveda demonstrated resilience on the track. He qualified ninth on Saturday and showed strong performance on Sunday, ultimately securing the second-place finish. This result underscores his potential in European racing circuits.
