Alessandro Pier Guidi joins Ferrari

Alessandro Pier Guidi has been announced as Ferrari’s newest factory GT driver. The Italian will join the AF Corse squad and compete alongside James Calado in the No.51 Ferrari 488 GTE in the 2017 WEC.

The 33-year-old Italian replaces former WEC GT Pro Champion Gianmaria Bruni, and Pier Guidi brings with him an extensive CV of GT successes.  In 2016 he competed in three continents with various Ferrari customer teams and made his debut in the 24 Hours of Le Mans alongside Bruni and Calado in the 488 GTE of AF Corse.

Alessandro Pier Guidi: “Racing with Ferrari is every drivers’ dream, especially if you are Italian.  In my career I have already been lucky enough to win several races with the 360 Modena, the F430 and the 458 Italia, and I feel very proud to try to win the next ones with the 488 GTE as an official standard-bearer.  I am very happy.”
