Rosco Vantini (born 11th September 1994 in Monza, Italy) is an Italian racing driver, the runner-up in the 2014 F2RWRS season and currently competing for Castrol Jones Racing in the 2015 season of the F1RWRS.
In 2014, Vantini drove for Falik Arrows in the F2RWRS and won one race in the series, the 2014 F2RWRS Hungarian Grand Prix. Before reaching the F2RWRS, Vantini had won the 2013 Italian Formula 3 title quite easily. However, his F2RWRS results were at first very disappointing for team owner Prince Falik, for whom only a podium was satisfactory. It took Rosco until the British Grand Prix to score his first podium in the series. Two races later, he finished fourth in Germany. He was fourth in the championship with 19 points. He bounced back by scoring three second places and a win in the four next races, getting to within 12 points of championship leader Mitchell Macklin. However, Vantini returned to his early-season form in the last five races, scoring just nine points, although the inconsistency of his rivals allowed him to clinch second place in the championship. At one point, it seemed Vantini wouldn't secure a drive for 2015, despite having been linked to the Prospec, ArrowTech, Tropico and Sunshine teams. Ultimately however Rosco was able to secure a drive with Jones Racing after Daniel Melrose left the team at the end of the 2014 season, opening up a seat alongside team owner Sammy Jones.
