Anthony Bartone Jr. (born 27 April 2000) is an American racing driver set to compete for GetSpeed Performance in the GT class of the Asian Le Mans Series.
Personal life
Bartone is the son of Tony Bartone, a former drag racer and founder of Bartone Bros Racing.[1][2] His uncle Michael was also a former drag racer.[3]
Career
In 2022, Bartone made his car racing debut in the GT4 America Series for Regal Motorsports alongside Andy Pilgrim.[4] Bartone ran part-time for the team, taking a best result of 16th at NOLA,[5] whilst also running part-time for the same team in the GT4 class of GT America, scoring a best result of tenth at Sebring.[6]
Bartone stepped up to GT3 competition the following year, racing for his family team in both the GT America Series and GT World Challenge America.[7][8] Driving for all but two rounds in the former, Bartone scored a lone win at Sonoma en route to a fifth-place points finish at season's end.[9] In the latter, Bartone raced in the Am class in the first three rounds alongside Pilgrim, winning all six races before Adam Christodoulou replaced Pilgrim ahead of the round at VIR, thus moving the team's entry to the Pro-Am class.[10] In the following three rounds, Bartone scored his only class podium of the season by finishing third in race two at Road America.[11] At the end of the year, Bartone joined GetSpeed Performance to race on a part-time basis in International GT Open,[12] and the GT class of the 2023–24 Asian Le Mans Series.[13]
Moving to Europe full-time for 2024, Bartone returned to GetSpeed Performance to race full-time in both GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup and International GT Open.[14][15] Racing in the Silver Cup in the former alongside James Kell and Yannick Mettler, Bartone scored a class win at the 24 Hours of Spa and finished fifth in the class standings.[16] In the latter, Bartone shared his car with Fabian Schiller and won the season opening race at Algarve before scoring two further podiums to end the year fifth in points.[17] During the year, Bartone also raced with the team for a one-off appearance in the Le Mans Cup alongside Steve Jans,[18] and returned with them to contest the 2024–25 Asian Le Mans Series in the GT class.[19]
Remaining with GetSpeed Performance for 2025, Bartone began the year by making his debut in the 24 Hours of Daytona in the GTD Pro class, in which he finished fifth.[20] For the rest of the year, he raced with the team in both GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup and International GT Open.[21][22] In the former, Bartone scored a best class result of fourth at Monza, whereas in GT Open, Bartone scored two second-place finishes at Le Castellet and Red Bull Ring and three further podiums to end the year seventh in points.[23][24] During 2025, Bartone raced with the team in a one-off appearance in the 24 Hours of Le Mans-supporting round of the Le Mans Cup, in which he and co-driver Steve Jans won race one.[25]
Bartone is set to stay with GetSpeed Performance for the 2025–26 Asian Le Mans Series and will make his second appearance at the 24 Hours of Daytona, once again in the GTD Pro class.[26][27]
