He competed in the 2012 Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge for Rehagen Racing driving a Ford Mustang GT.[3]



Toyota Racing Series

Formula 3


He started his F3 career by competing in the Italian Formula Three in 2012 with BVM.[5] He won his first F3 race in Vallelunga Circuit on 16 September 2012. He finished seventh in the final standings.[6]


In 2013, he raced in several series including Masters of Formula 3, British Formula 3 Championship, and FIA European Formula Three Championship, all with Carlin Motorsport.[7][8][9] He finished seventh in the 2013 Masters of Formula 3 race.[10] On 25 July 2013, he claimed his first poles in his racing career in Spa.[11]



Formula Renault 3.5


After running in selected rounds of the Formula Renault 3.5 series in 2014 for Tech 1 Racing, Latifi joined Arden International to race in the championship in 2015.[12]

Personal life


He is the son of Michael Latifi, a Canadian businessman who is CEO of Sofina Foods, Inc. and also owns a British Virgin Islands company Nidala.[16] Michael Latifi invested through Nidala £200 million (around 270 million USD) in the McLaren Group, leading to suggestions his F2 race-winning son Nicholas could be pushed from F2 racing into a more prominent role with McLaren, although McLaren CEO Zak Brown has said this has not been part of any conversation prior to investment.[17][16]
