🏳️ Emanuele Pagani

Emanuele Pagani is a competitive amateur, rated 2,998. This level describes drivers who compete at the front of club racing and entry-level professional events, quick enough to race against paid drivers but typically self-funded and without a permanent seat at the top.[1]

Pagani raced in the SKUSA SuperNationals between 2008 and 2010, competing in three starts across two seasons. He finished on the podium once and won once, posting an average finishing position of fourth across all classified races. His strongest recorded result came in a head-to-head against drivers of considerably higher calibre than his own rating suggests; he finished ahead of Dan Wheldon, a professional rated 5,853 and a front-runner at the top level, on two separate occasions, and also beat Silver-graded professional Phil Giebler and Gold-graded professional Buddy Rice in single races. These results suggest occasional speed in competitive circumstances, though the limited sample and his retirement in 2010 leave his true potential unclear. Pagani has not raced since 2010.
