Riccardo Pera is a professional-level endurance racing driver rated 4,991, placing him in the professional band where he competes as a full-time driver in the strongest sportscar fields. His FIA Silver categorisation denotes a professional-level driver, typically early-career, within GT and endurance racing. Across nine seasons from 2018 to 2026, Pera has accumulated 74 starts, 4 wins, and 19 podiums, with an average finish of P9.9 in classified results. His breakthrough came at the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans, where he won in the LMGT3 class, a result that defined his year and contributed to a 2025 championship title.[1]

Pera's primary experience lies in the WEC, where he has made 40 starts for The Bend Manthey since 2018, scoring 3 wins and 14 podiums. He has also competed in the IMSA WeatherTech championship in 2026, taking 1 win in 3 starts, and the European Le Mans Series for two seasons with GR Racing, where he secured 4 podiums from 12 entries. His racing has been defined by competition in mid-field to upper-mid-field endurance grids; among his most frequent rivals are fellow Silver-graded drivers Francesco Castellacci and Michelle Gatting, against whom he holds winning records, as well as Platinum professionals Alessio Rovera and Davide Rigon. Pera has shown capability against top-tier drivers, beating Platinum-graded champions Maro Engel three times and Matt Campbell twice across his career.[2]

Recent activity shows Pera competing at the sharp end of the WEC in 2026, where he has taken 3 podiums from 4 rounds, and he continues to race internationally in both endurance and sprint formats. His 2025 Le Mans victory marked a significant achievement in a career built steadily through Europe's leading sportscar series, and he remains actively engaged in top-tier endurance racing.
