Marcus Ahlmann Sæter (born 21 October 2008) is a Norwegian racing driver currently competing for Van Amersfoort Racing in the Italian F4 Championship.

Career

Sæter began karting in 2018. During his time in karts, Sæter most notably finished second in the 2021 South Garda Winter Cup in OK-J and in the 2022 Trofeo Delle Industrie in X30 Junior,[1][2] before joining Team Norway in 2023.[3]

Stepping up to cars in 2024, Sæter joined R Racing to compete in the Ginetta Junior Championship.[4] In the second round of the season at Silverstone, Sæter took his maiden series win in race two before closing out the weekend by finishing second in race three.[5] Over the rest of the season, Sæter took his second win of the season at Anglesey,[6] which helped him finish sixth in points after taking five more podiums.[7]

The following year, Sæter transitioned to single-seaters by joining AKM Motorsport to race in the Aragón round of the Formula Winter Series.[8] After taking a best result of 17th in race two,[9] Sæter joined Van Amersfoort Racing for his maiden season in Italian F4.[10][11] In the season-opening round at Misano, Sæter finished 13th in race two,[12] also taking his maiden rookie podium of the season by finishing third in class.[13] The following round at Vallelunga was a step forward for Sæter, as he took a rookie win by finishing fourth overall in race three,[14] and taking two rookie podiums whilst finishing seventh and fifth in the other two races.[15]

At Monza, Sæter finished seventh in race two,[16] which gave him his second rookie win of the year, enabling him to enter the final four rounds of the season second in the rookie standings.[17] However, Sæter wasn't able to score points in the following two rounds at Mugello and Imola, as he finished no higher than twelfth across both rounds.[18][19]
