Alessio Rovera (born 22 June 1995) is an Italian racing driver. He is a Ferrari factory driver and currently competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship with AF Corse. [1]

Contents

Early career

After winning the 2013 Formula Abarth series in his debut season of single-seater racing, Rovera entered the Formula Renault 2.0 Alps championship in 2014. [2] He finished the season sixth in the final standings, having scored three podiums. [3] During the year, he also made a one-off appearance in the Euroformula Open Championship. [4]

In 2015, Rovera moved into Euroformula Open, racing with DAV Racing for three rounds and doing the same with BVM Racing. [5] [6] [7] The Italian won the season opener at Jerez, having started that race from 13th place, and scored three further podiums on his way to sixth in the standings, which he achieved despite missing two events. [8] [9] [10]

Sportscar career

Porsche competitions

Rovera moved into sportscar racing ahead of 2016 with Ebimotors, whom he would drive for in the Porsche Carrera Cup Italia. His debut campaign demonstrated promise, as he won two races and took 12 podiums overall to finish third. [11] [12] In 2017, Rovera remained in the PCCI but switched to Tsunami RT. This time, he won four races, enough to clinch him the championship title by the end of the year. [13] In addition, the Italian won a race of the Porsche Carrera Cup France and finished on the podium at the Porsche Carrera Cup support race of that year's 24 Hours of Le Mans. [14] [15]

Rovera followed this up by contesting a double campaign in the PCCI and PCCF during the 2018 season. [16] [17] He won six races in the former, earning him second place overall, and three in the latter on his way to third in the standings behind Ayhancan Güven and Julien Andlauer. [18] That year, Rovera also made his debut in the Porsche Supercup, driving at the Red Bull Ring. [19]

GT3 debut

Going into 2019, Rovera stepped up to the GT3 category, driving in the Endurance and Sprint iterations of the Italian GT Championship for Antonelli Motorsport. [20] [21] Together with Riccardo Agostini, Rovera won the Sprint series, having taken podums in six out of eight races. [22] For the 2020 season, Rovera switched to AF Corse, driving a Ferrari 488 GT3 in the IGT Endurance championship alongside Antonio Fuoco and Giorgio Roda. After winning at Imola, the trio clinched the Endurance title with another victory at the season finale in Monza. [23] Rovera and Roda also contested the Sprint series, where they finished fourth with one race win. As well as this, the Italian made his first appearance in the European Le Mans Series and its LMGTE class, racing for AF Corse at the final round. [24]

WEC successes

2021 saw Rovera remain with AF Corse, who fielded him as their designated silver-ranked driver in the LMGTE Am class of the FIA World Endurance Championship, where he partnered Nicklas Nielsen and gentleman driver François Perrodo. [25] The trio experienced a dominant campaign, which started out with a win at Spa-Francorchamps, where Rovera impressed on debut during the middle stint. [26] Another win came at Monza, where Rovera and his teammates rebounded from a demotion to the back of the grid after qualifying. [27] However, the team's highlight performance came at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, as AF Corse won the race in LMGTE Am in what was Rovera's Le Mans debut. [28] [29] [30] Another victory at the season finale in Bahrain earned Rovera, Nielsen, and Perrodo the LMGTE Am title, which they won with a gap of 59.5 points. [31] During 2021, Rovera also drove in the ELMS, where he, Perrodo, and Emmanuel Collard won two races on their way to third in the standings. [32]

As a result of his performances, Rovera was signed by Ferrari as an official factory GT driver. [33] [34]

In 2022, Rovera, who had now been upgraded to gold status by the FIA, made his first foray into prototype racing with a drive in the LMP2 class of the WEC and ELMS. [35] Competing once again for AF Corse, he, along with Nielsen and Rovera, would contest each series's Pro-Am class due to Perrodo's classification as an FIA bronze. In the WEC, the trio once again triumphed, winning four races in their subclass to take the LMP2 Pro-Am title. [36] [37] Meanwhile, the trio scored one subclass win in the ELMS thanks to a charging drive by Rovera at Barcelona, coming up short on the title to the Racing Team Turkey trio of Jack Aitken, Charlie Eastwood, and Salih Yoluç. [38] [39] The Italian also drove in selected GT races during the year, finishing second at both the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup finale in Barcelona and the IGTC finale at Abu Dhabi, as well as scoring the fastest lap and thereby setting the GT3 record time during the 24 Hours of Spa. [40] [41]

As a newly-minted platinum driver per the FIA's standard, Rovera focused on GT racing in 2023, driving alongside fellow factory driver Lilou Wadoux and bronze-ranked Luis Pérez Companc in the WEC's final LMGTE Am season, whilst partnering Nicklas Nielsen and Robert Shwartzman in the GTWC Europe Endurance Cup. [42] [43] [44] Following a spectacular crash by Companc in the opening laps at Sebring, the team redeemed themselves by charging towards second at Portimão, where Rovera narrowly missed out on victory to Nicky Catsburg. [45] [46] [47] The trio dominated the next round at Spa-Francorchamps, winning the race and making Wadoux the first ever female winner in the championship. [48] However, a crash by Wadoux in torrential rain at Le Mans and a turn one beaching of the car by Companc at Fuji proved detrimental to the team's season, which they finished eighth in the standings. [49] [50] In the GTWC Endurance Cup, Rovera and his teammates scored a pole position and a victory at the season-ending Barcelona round, leading them to eighth place overall, highest of all entries competing with the new Ferrari 296 GT3. [51] [52]

During the middle of the year, Rovera replaced Ben Barnicoat at AF Corse's LMP2 squad in the ELMS for two races, subsequently helping Matthieu Vaxivière and François Perrodo to win at Aragón in the Pro-Am class. [53] [54]

At the end of 2023 and going into 2024, Rovera paired up with Vaxivière and Perrodo once again in LMP2, driving in the Asian Le Mans Series. [55] The trio scored a second place at the opening race in Sepang and took another runner-up spot at Abu Dhabi, where Rovera had taken a controlling lead before it was wiped away thanks to a red flag. [56] [57] An early collision which involved Perrodo at the final race meant that the squad had to settle for fifth in the teams' rankings. [58] [59]

Rovera continued racing alongside the two Frenchmen in the LMP2 Pro-Am class of the ELMS, whilst also returning to the WEC to compete in the new LMGT3 class alongside Simon Mann and François Heriau. [60] [1]
