Hi! From what I could find it seems that Austerik Motorsport is an Italian company producing go-kart chassis. Based in Chignolo Po somewhere between Milano and Piacenza. What I couldn't find is any track of this formula car anywhere at all. Although I have seen an article reporting on some local race in 'Formula Driver' category which took place at Le Colline racetrack (which looks to be in or somewhere close to Chignolo Po) on March 23, 2010, where Massimo Austeri drove an 'Austerik 1000' car. The event was governed by Lega Nazionale Automobilismo UISP (Unione Italiana Sport Per tutti) and Austerik raced in category E, reserved for single seaters.
I could suppose that this could be the said Austerik 1000, probably with a motorcycle engine inside. I have found pictures of an Austerik with a 650cc motorcycle engine. That one is different and looks way older, but the colors (white/blue) and the stickers (Motul/Bridgestone) are the same. Attached.



P.S. Oh, another thing is that it looks pretty similar to Gloria single seaters, but still much different in what concerns the bodykit.
