Olivier Beretta is a professional sportscar and endurance racing driver rated 4,769, placing him in the established professional band. His FIA Gold categorisation denotes a full-time professional in GT and endurance racing. Beretta's career spanned three decades of single-seater and sportscar racing, beginning with Formula 3 Macau in 1990 and progressing through Formula 1 with Larrousse in 1994, where he started ten Grands Prix without scoring points before his sponsorship was exhausted. He subsequently tested for Williams during 2003 and 2004.[1]

Beretta's primary competitive record comes from the World Endurance Championship, where he competed across nine seasons from 2012 to 2020 with MR Racing, accumulating 24 starts, one victory, and four podium finishes. His average finishing position across all 35 career starts stands at 6.7. In endurance racing he competed regularly against professional-grade drivers including Giancarlo Fisichella, a Platinum-graded former champion whom Beretta finished ahead of in eight of their eighteen shared races, though he trailed Fisichella overall. He also raced frequently against fellow Gold-graded driver Benjamin Barker and repeatedly competed against highly rated professionals including Matt Campbell, a three-time Platinum-graded champion. Beretta demonstrated occasional performance against elite-level single-seater drivers, beating Damon Hill and Éric Bernard once each in endurance competition, though such isolated results against much stronger drivers in shared-class or longer-format racing do not establish a pattern.[2]
