🇮🇹 Vittorio Ghirelli

Vittorio Ghirelli is an Italian racing driver whose career has spanned open-wheel and stock car disciplines across Europe and North America. Coming up through Italian Formula Three and the GP3 Series before moving into Indy Lights, Ghirelli built a reputation as a versatile competitor willing to test himself in a wide range of machinery. His most notable open-wheel achievement came in 2013, when he claimed the Auto GP championship driving for Super Nova International, a result that remains a highlight of his motorsport resume. Beyond single-seaters, he has diversified into stock car racing, competing in the NASCAR Euro Series for PK Carsport in the Elite 2 division and part-time in the NASCAR Canada Series with Dumoulin Competition, while also holding the title of defending champion in the smart EQ fortwo e-cup.[1]

Within Racer DB's records, Ghirelli's Indy NXT stint with Team Moore Racing stands as a limited but recorded chapter of his single-seater career, with the Italian driver listed as retired from the series. Across his time in the category he made four starts without registering a win or a podium finish. His most recent campaign, the 2026 season, saw him contest all four rounds of that year without a win or podium, finishing fourth in the standings. Ghirelli currently holds a Racer Rating of 2,396, placing him 4,501st among active drivers on the database's Elo-style scale, a figure that reflects his brief and modest showing in Indy NXT relative to the sport's top performers.[2]
