🇮🇹 Piergiuseppe Perazzini

Piergiuseppe Perazzini was a professional endurance racing driver competing in multiclass GT racing between 2003 and 2018. He raced for AF Corse, one of the sport's most established teams, in four international championships; his primary focus was the Le Mans Cup and its GT3 category, in which he took three podiums from four starts in 2018.[1]

Perazzini won twice across his career, both victories coming in 2018: one in the Road to Le Mans and one in the Le Mans Cup. His other major results were three podiums in the World Endurance Championship across 2012 and 2013, including a podium finish in his final WEC round. He recorded a single start in the FIA GT Championship in 2003 and contested three races in IMSA WeatherTech between 2014 and 2015.[2]

His peers in these series included established professionals such as Maurizio Mediani and Andrea Piccini, both regular opponents across multiple seasons; he was closely matched with each. On occasion he finished ahead of significantly stronger drivers: he beat Brendon Hartley, a four-time WEC champion and Formula 1 driver, and Timo Bernhard, a WEC LMP1 champion, in single meetings.
