🇦🇷 Franco Girolami

Franco Girolami is a semi-professional driver competing in North American sportscar racing. His rating of 3,477 places him in the semi-professional band; he races at the level where paid drivers work in pro-am and one-make classes and typically finish mid-pack among full professionals. The FIA categorises him as Silver, a professional-level grading within endurance and GT racing that denotes a driver usually early in his career at that level. He has six race starts across two seasons from 2025 to 2026, concentrated in IMSA Pilot Challenge, where his single win came. His average finish across all classified races stands at seventh position.[1]

Girolami's record in IMSA Pilot Challenge reflects the competitive nature of that field. His most frequent rivals there, Bryson Morris, Mason Filippi, Denis Dupont, Mark Wilkins, Preston Brown and Karl Wittmer, are all Silver or Gold graded professionals, several of them champions in IMSA Pilot Challenge TCR or other series. Against this cohort Girolami has a losing head-to-head record; he finished ahead of each of his four main rivals only once in four shared races, and behind them three times each. He has beaten stronger drivers individually, including Denis Dupont, who won the 2025 IMSA Pilot Challenge TCR championship, but these remain isolated results rather than patterns. His 2025 start in Ferrari Challenge produced no points before he moved to IMSA competition with Victor Gonzalez Racing, where he has remained active through 2026.[2]
