Sebastián Garzón

Sebastián "Tatán" Garzón Orozco (born 4 November 2009) is a Colombian racing driver who competes for DEForce Racing in the USF2000 Championship.

Career Karting (2015–present) Garzón began racing karts competitively in 2015. On his debut year, Garzón won the Easykart World Championship, before taking two X30 Micro titles in Colombia in 2016, earning him his debut in the end-of-year SKUSA SuperNationals. Garzón then won two Panamerican Vortex Rok Cup titles in 2018 and 2019, before winning Rok the Rio in Mini Rok the following year. In 2021, Garzón won the Mini Rok and Easykart Junior national titles, awarding him an invitation to the Rok Cup Superfinal, in a season in which he also won the Autumn Trophy in Italy.

Moving up to junior karts in 2022, Garzón won the South American and Colombian junior max titles to secure an invitation to the RMC Grand Finals, before representing Colombia in the Karting Academy Trophy the following season. In 2024, Garzón began the year by securing the SKUSA Winter Series title in KA 100 Junior, before winning the end-of-year SKUSA SuperNationals in both KA 100 and X30 Junior. Alongside his growing single-seater commitments, Garzón opted to keep a constant presence in the American karting scene, mainly competing in the SKUSA Winter Series and Florida Winter Tour.

Single-seaters (2024–present) In 2024, Garzón made his single-seater debut in the Lucas Oil Formula Car Race Series, clinching the title with nine wins to his name. Alongside his karting commitments with Orsolon Racing Team, Garzón signed with DEForce Racing in 2025 to compete in the USF2000 Championship. For most of the season, Garzón's best result was a fourth at St. Petersburg, until a surprise podium at the Portland elevated him to eighth in the final standings.

In 2026, Garzón remained with DEForce Racing for his second season in the USF2000 Championship, as a new athlete for Team Bogotá. Starting off the season with a double win at the St. Petersburg opener, Garzón then won race two at Indianapolis and finished on the podium in the other two races to extend his points lead. A third-place finish at Indianapolis Raceway Park then ensued, before scoring two podiums between the Road America and Mid-Ohio rounds to maintain his points lead with three rounds to go.
