🇨🇭 Enzo Calderari

Enzo Calderari is an established professional who raced in the FIA GT Championship between 1997 and 2005, driving Porsche 911 GT3 Cup machinery for Larbre Compétition in a shared-drive endurance format. He returned to racing briefly in 2021 for a 24-hour Porsche Cup class entry with Stadler Motorsport before retiring from competition.[1]

Across his nine-year career on record, Calderari took one win and ten podiums from 38 starts, all but one of them in the FIA GT Championship during an eight-season spell as a regular entrant. His best season came in 2005, when he finished 13th in the championship standings over three rounds. Calderari occupied the midfield of that grid through the late 1990s and into the 2000s, typically finishing ahead of entry-level professionals such as Gerold Ried and holding his own against higher-graded competition; he beat both Alex Caffi, a former Formula 1 driver with an established professional record, and Johnny Herbert, who had competed in 162 Formula 1 races, once each during his time in the series.[2]

Care Racing Development fielded Calderari for 19 of his starts and, though the team held no wins across the index, it regularly competed in the FIA GT Championship with drivers ranging from Calderari through to established professionals such as Thomas Biagi. His endurance record placed him in a consistent mid-order position against a field mixing amateurs, semi-professionals and graded professionals in the same races.
