Matteo Cressoni is a professional-level sportscar racing driver rated 3,691, placing him among semi-professional competitors who win regularly in strong fields but do not sustain front-running form across full seasons. His FIA Silver categorisation denotes a professional driver in endurance racing, typically early or mid-career. Cressoni has raced for thirteen seasons since 2004, with 87 starts across multiple series, though the vast majority of his record comes from endurance racing from 2014 onward. He won the 2021 championship, his sole title, and has taken five wins and eighteen podiums in total.[1]

Cressoni's primary focus has been the European Le Mans Series with Proton Competition, where he scored all five of his career wins across 28 starts and reached the podium in eleven races between 2021 and 2025. His broader endurance portfolio includes forty-one World Endurance Championship starts with Iron Lynx, yielding five podiums but no wins, and ten IMSA WeatherTech rounds with Proton. He averages a ninth-place finish across classified starts. His head-to-head record against regular rivals is mixed; against Michelle Gatting and Sarah Bovy, both semi-professionals like himself, he trails by a narrow margin in shared races, whilst he holds winning records against Christian Ried and Riccardo Pera despite their higher ratings. Cressoni has occasionally finished ahead of drivers rated considerably above him, including five results against Maro Engel and three against Kyle Kirkwood, though these remain isolated results rather than sustained patterns. Currently active in the 2026 WEC season, he remains in his traditional endurance racing role without recent wins.[2]
