Pier Guidi: Winning Le Mans and Daytona with Ferrari "difficult to dream" about
Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado celebrated their recent victory at Le Mans with another win at the Daytona race last weekend, driving a Ferrari 296 GT3 for Risi Competizione in the GTD Pro class. This marked Ferrari’s first success in the IMSA SportsCar Championship’s flagship event since Pier Guidi’s win in 2014, and their 17th class victory in the history of the race. It was also the first time Risi and Ferrari won together at Daytona, after competing in the GT classes as a team since 2014. Pier Guidi expressed his pride in achieving victories in both Le Mans and Daytona within a year and highlighted the significance of Ferrari finally winning this race. The Risi Ferrari led various stages of the race and ultimately won by a full lap over their closest rival, the AO Racing Porsche. Calado described this double triumph as an amazing achievement and expressed his gratitude for being part of the successful team. Despite their recent success, Ferrari has no plans to compete in IMSA’s GTP class in the near future.
