🇮🇹 Daniel Mancinelli

Daniel Mancinelli is a professional racing driver from Italy rated at 4,780, competing at the level of a mid-tier international professional. His career spans endurance racing in the WEC and IMSA WeatherTech championships, where he races GT3 machinery for Heart of Racing Team, and single-seater racing early in his career. He holds an FIA Silver grading, the step below the full professional grades in endurance racing.[1]

Mancinelli's record across fifteen seasons of indexed racing totals 29 starts, with one win and four podiums. That win came in the 2024 WEC season, where he finished third in the championship standings from eight rounds. His most substantial career activity lies in the WEC, where he has 12 starts across 2023 and 2024 for Heart of Racing. Earlier in his career he contested Formula Renault Eurocup and GP3 Series in 2009 through 2011, taking three starts in GP3 and nine in Formula Renault with One Racing but no podium finishes there. He also made single appearances in IMSA WeatherTech and Le Mans Cup, and two starts in Lamborghini Super Trofeo.[2]

In WEC, Mancinelli competes alongside Marco Sorensen, a Platinum-graded professional and 2022 WEC LMGTE Am champion with over 70 WEC starts to his name; the two are closely matched across their head-to-head meetings. He also regularly encounters Claudio Schiavoni, an entry-level professional, whom he typically outpaces. His strongest single result came when he finished ahead of Nico Müller, an established professional with extensive DTM and Formula E experience, in a 2024 WEC race.
