Pier Guidi: Winning both Le Mans, Daytona with Ferrari ‘difficult to even dream’
Pier Guidi and Calado, along with Rigon and Serra, secured a GTD Pro class victory at Daytona with the Ferrari 296 GT3 entered by Risi Competizione, following their overall win at Le Mans last year. This was Ferrari’s first success in the IMSA SportsCar Championship at Daytona since 2014 and their 17th class win in the endurance race’s history. It was also the first time Risi and Ferrari won at Daytona together. Pier Guidi expressed his pride and excitement at achieving victories in the two biggest sportscar races within a year, stating that it was a dream come true and something Ferrari had been striving for. The Risi Ferrari led various stages of the race and a problem for the BMW M4 GT3 allowed them to secure a comfortable victory, finishing a full lap ahead of the closest competitor, the AO Racing Porsche 911 GT3 R. Calado described the double triumph as an amazing achievement and credited the success to Ferrari, the team, and Risi. The race went as they had hoped, with a great car and balance.
