🇺🇸 Ted Giovanis

Ted Giovanis is a Bronze-graded amateur endurance racing driver competing in IMSA's national pro-am multiclass championships. He races for Team TGM, primarily in the IMSA Pilot Challenge GS class, piloting GT4-level production-based sports cars shared with co-drivers across a decade-long career that began in 2016.[1]

Over 11 seasons, Giovanis has started 97 times across IMSA Pilot Challenge, IMSA WeatherTech, International GT and Porsche Carrera Cup NA, taking three podiums; all three have come in Pilot Challenge. The bulk of his record sits in Pilot Challenge, where he has made 85 starts for Team TGM. He has also taken four starts in the higher-tier IMSA WeatherTech endurance championship, racing both its GTD and GTDPRO classes with GT3 machinery, and sampled International GT and single-driver Porsche Carrera Cup competition.[2]

Giovanis typically finishes behind regular opponents Matt Plumb and Gregory Liefooghe, both FIA Silver graded and more established in endurance racing than his bronze classification suggests. He has, however, shared grids with drivers of considerably higher standing; he finished ahead of Chase Briscoe, an elite professional and former ARCA Menards champion, on six occasions across their meetings, and beat two-time NASCAR Truck champion Corey Heim once. Team TGM, his primary ride, has recorded 10 race wins across the index with a driver roster anchored by Plumb, placing Giovanis among its co-drivers rather than its lead entry.
