Eastern Shipping Worldwide and Gonella Racing: A Winning Partnership for the F4 US Championship
May 26, 2023Wood Dale, IL - Eastern Shipping Worldwide is more than just a freight forwarder and customs broker. We are also a racing team with a passion for precision and purpose. That’s why we are proud to sponsor Gonella Racing, a team that helps prepare young drivers for the F4 US Championship.
Gonella Racing was founded by Ernie Gonella, a former professional driver and engineer with over 35 years of experience in the field. Ernie’s program teaches drivers not only how to drive fast, but also how to understand the mechanics behind their cars and how to communicate efficiently and effectively with engineers to improve the car setup.
At Eastern, we share Gonella Racing’s values of excellence, innovation, and teamwork. We believe that these values are essential for success in both racing and logistics. We also share Gonella Racing’s commitment to giving back to the youth and the community. That’s why Eastern also supports the amazing charitable work of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) and the Wounded Warrior Project.
We invite you to join us in cheering for Gonella Racing and their drivers Artie Flores, Tyke Durst, and Carl Bennett as they compete in the F4 US Championship. This series offers young racing drivers around the world the opportunity to take the first step from karting into the world of single-seater racing. Currently, Gonella Racing Team's Carl Bennett ranks 5th in the 2023 F4 US Championship Standings, and Tyke Durst ranks 14th.
