🇦🇷 Ricardo Risatti

Ricardo Risatti is a professional-level racing driver, rated 4,441, competing in the professional band. His FIA Gold categorisation denotes him as a full professional in sportscar and endurance racing, a grading that reflects standing within GT and endurance competition and carries no implication about his level in single-seaters. Risatti's recorded career spans a single season in 2007, when he contested Formula V8 3.5 and GP2 Series with a combined 11 starts across two separate operations. He accumulated no wins or podiums in either series, finishing on average 16th among classified runners.[1]

In Formula V8 3.5, Risatti started six races for GD Racing, a team that recorded no wins across its entire recorded history. His most frequent rivals in the single-seater campaigns were professional and Gold-graded drivers, among them Giedo Van Der Garde, who would become 2008 Formula V8 3.5 champion, and Filipe Albuquerque, later a two-time IMSA WeatherTech DPi champion. Against these fields Risatti finished behind them consistently; his head-to-head records ran 1-5 against both Van Der Garde and Pavlovic across six shared races each, and he did not finish ahead of Albuquerque or Ben Hanley in any of their six mutual encounters. Isolated results suggest he could match drivers above his usual level on occasion; he finished ahead of Bertrand Baguette, the 2009 Formula V8 3.5 champion, once, and ahead of Sebastien Buemi, a multiple world endurance champion, once.[2]

Risatti's active international single-seater record ended in 2007. According to available background, he was the 2006 Spanish Formula Three champion before moving into the two-seater categories recorded here, and later competed in Argentine touring car series. He is now retired from professional racing.
