🇮🇹 David Cleto FUMANELLI

David Cleto Fumanelli is a professional endurance racing driver competing in multiclass GT3 sportscar championships. Graded FIA Gold, he races for Kessel Racing in the Le Mans Cup and Road to Le Mans, sharing a GT3 car with co-drivers across seasons spanning 2023 to 2026. His record across both series comprises 20 starts, 6 wins and 8 podiums, culminating in the 2025 Le Mans Cup championship.[1]

Fumanelli has won five times in the Le Mans Cup across three seasons of competition, taking the title in 2025. He secured one additional win in Road to Le Mans across four starts in that series. His podium finishes span both championships consistently; he has regularly placed in the top three when racing in the Le Mans Cup, where his five victories came from 14 starts. In Road to Le Mans, a one-win return from six entries reflects the series' lower frequency of racing opportunities compared to the full Le Mans Cup campaign.[2]

His regular opposition in both series consists of entry-level and semi-professional drivers, typically racing against Josep Mayola Comadira and Marc Carol Ybarra, both of whom he regularly finishes ahead of. Fumanelli has also beaten established professionals; he finished ahead of Sven Müller, a Gold-graded driver with significant experience in European GT racing and Formula 3, on two occasions, and took a result over Matt Kurzejewski, the 2024 Le Mans Cup GT3 champion, once. Kessel Racing, his sole team across all indexed starts, fields a large roster and has produced results with established professionals on its books.
