Filip SalaÃÂ (born 12 December 2001) is a Czech motorcycle rider, competing in the 2026 Moto2 World Championship for OnlyFans American Racing Team.
Salaàcompeted full time in the 2016 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, scoring no podiums, 75 points, and finished ninth in the final standings. He also made four race appearances in the 2016 FIM CEV Moto3 Junior World Championship, scoring one point in the race at Portimão.
SalaÃÂ split the same two series again next year, finishing with 12 points in the 2017 FIM CEV Moto3 Junior World Championship, and five top-six finishes in the 2017 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, including a second place podium in Jerez. He finished 27th, and 13th in the standings respectively.
SalaÃÂ improved from his previous seasons in both categories, scoring points eight times in the 2018 FIM CEV Moto3 Junior World Championship, seven of which were top-ten finishes, finishing 11th in the standings, with 52 points. In the 2018 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, he scored five podiums, two second places at Assen and Misano, and three third places at Jerez, the Sachsenring, and the Red Bull Ring. He finished the season fourth in the standings, with 151 points.
SalaÃÂ made his Grand Prix racing debut as a wildcard, at his home GP in Brno in 2018, finishing the race in 24th place.
Salaàcompeted full time in the 2019 Moto3 World Championship alongside compatriot Jakub Kornfeil at Prüstel GP.
SalaÃÂ scored points in seven races during the year, his season's best finishes being a ninth place in Rimini, and a fifth place in the season closing race in Valencia. He ended the season 23rd in the standings, with 32 points.
Switching from Prüstel to the Rivacold Snipers team for the 2020 Moto3 World Championship, Salaàhad similar performances as the year prior. He scored points in six races, his season's best results were an eighth place in Qatar, and a ninth place in Valencia, and ended the season 21st in the standings, with 30 points.
The 2021 Moto3 World Championship would see SalaÃÂ ride for two teams. He started the season with the Rivacold Snipers outfit, scoring his first career podium in the category with a second place in Le Mans, and also earning his first pole position in Moto3 at the Sachsenring. He could not finish the race in Germany however, as technical issues forced him to retire. SalaÃÂ was so upset with the team, having already retired in Doha and Barcelona in previous races, that following his German retirement, he asked for the termination of his contract with the team. He was replaced by Alberto Surra.
Following his decision to leave the Snipers team, and the sudden death of Jason Dupasquier in Italy freeing up a spot at Prüstel GP, the two parties agreed to a contract, and Salaàwould ride for Prüstel for the remaining nine races of the season. He finished in the points in the first three races, before crashing out in the next three, but ended the season well, with two tenth places in Misano and Portimão, before capping off the season with a fourth place in the season closer at Valencia. Salaàfinished 16th in the championship standings, with 71 points.
In September 2021, it was announced that SalaÃÂ would move up to Moto2, with the Gresini Racing team for the 2022 season.
Elf Racing Team Marc VDS has announced that SalaÃÂ would join their Moto2 project for the 2024 Moto2 World Championship.
