Diego Álvarez Torrente (born 4th July 1996 in Granada, Spain) is a Spanish racer currently contracted to Fusion Motorsports. He currently races for the team in the 2015 Rejects of LFS season series.

Early life

Diego was born to José, a former racing driver, and Ximena who was a store manager in Granada. He first tried karting at the age of 9, and won various Spanish and European titles.

While his father was employed as a consultant to the Epsilon Euskadi racing team, he suggested to them that they try a then 14-year-old Diego out in a Eurocup Formula Renault car and would pay out of his wages. The team agreed, and were impressed by his natural affinity with the car and his technical feedback. They waived the fee that José had volunteered to pay, and promptly signed Diego up.

Racing Career

As Epsilon Euskadi renamed to EPIC Racing, Diego joined the team for the new-in-2012 Formula Renault 2.0 España series and managed to win 3 races in his first season on his way to 4th in the championship. He stayed for another season and managed to win the competition overall with an impressive 7 victories in all.

He was then signed by Fusion Motorsports in early 2014, who loaned him out to AV Formula to race the second half of the 2014 Formula Renault 3.5 season.
