Gaetano Souza Gomes di Mauro (born 1 July 1997) is a Brazilian racing driver currently competing in Stock Car Pro Series with Eurofarma RC. He is known for winning eight Brazil Kart Championship titles and being the best-performing rookie in the 2019 Stock Car Brasil Championship.

Career

Karting Di Mauro competed in karting from a young age, and took his first major victory in 2012 when he won the Brazilian Kart Championship in the shifter KZ class, a feat that he repeated in 2013, 2016 and 2017. Following his 2013 victory, he competed in the 500 Milhas de Beto Carrero race alongside Rubens Barrichello and Tony Kanaan, which the team won.

In 2018, di Mauro finished fourth in the FIA Karting International Super Cup, part of the Karting World Championship. The following year, he won his fifth Brazilian Kart Championship title. This earnt him a position at Thunder Technology, helping to develop their KZ and Graduados karts.

Early career Di Mauro made his touring car debut in 2013 in the Sprint Race Brasil championship, where he won the title. He also made an appearance in Formula 3 Sudamericana, taking a podium in Brasília.

In 2014, di Mauro competed in the BRDC Formula 4 Championship for Petroball Racing, making his international single-seater debut. He finished eighth overall, taking one win at Brands Hatch from pole position. He also competed in the BRDC F4 Winter Series in the same year, where he was runner-up, taking two wins and finishing on the podium in every race he finished.

Di Mauro was due to compete in the series again for 2015, and turned down an offer from the Shell Racing Academy to compete in Fórmula 3 Brasil in order to do so. However, Petroball pulled out of the championship before the season began due to funding issues, and he spent the year karting in Europe and Brazil instead.

Touring cars In 2017, di Mauro competed in the Campeonato Brasileiro de Turismo. He won the opening race of the season, which led to of performance ballast being added to his car. As di Mauro weighed when wearing his racing gear, he likened this to "carrying a twin brother as a passenger". Despite this, he finished as runner-up in the standings, taking three wins and three additional podiums.

He moved to Porsche GT3 Cup Brasil to 2018, sponsored by Shell Racing Academy, where he again found success in the 3.8 class. The championship came down to the final round at Interlagos, however he suffered a flat tyre and could not finish the race. He again was the runner-up, taking three wins and another four podiums. He was then invited to the final event of the Porsche Endurance Series, which he won from pole alongside Nonô Figueiredo.

Stock Car Pro Series

Di Mauro made his Stock Car Brasil debut in the final round of 2018, where he finished tenth. Shell Racing Academy promoted him to a full-time seat with Full Time Sports in 2019, making him the first driver from the academy to compete in the series. He finished as the highest rookie in the standings with nineteenth place, taking a best race result of fourth at Campo Grande, and continued in the series for 2020 with Vogel Motorsport. His first two podiums came in 2021, and he took his first race win in 2022 at Velopark along with three additional podiums to finish eleventh in the overall standings. In 2023, he switched teams to Hot Car Competições and finished twentieth with one podium.

In 2024, di MauroŎ moved to Cavaleiro Sports. His first win of the season came in round three at Interlagos, after taking the lead from Marcos Gomes with twenty minutes remaining and successfully holding off Felipe Baptista for the rest of the race. He took his maiden pole position in the penultimate round in Goiânia. He finished seventeenth in the damp reverse-grid sprint race, but went on to win the main race of the event, comfortably holding the lead throughout the race. He finished sixteenth overall in the standings.

For the 2025 season, di Mauro joined Eurofarma RC, operated by RC Competições, a move which became known after his win at Velo Città the previous year. He had his personal best start to a season, driving from eighth to second in the opening race at Interlagos to finish just behind teammate Felipe Fraga. He took another podium in round two, and his first win of the year in round three.
