Robert Consani (born 27 August 1982 in Aix-en-Provence) is a French rally and racing driver competing for Team Speedcar in the GT4 European Series.
Consani made his single-seater debut in 1999, as he joined FG Team to race in the French Formula Renault Championship. [1] After competing in the championship sporadically for four seasons, Consani took a seven-year hiatus from motorsport, returning to racing in 2010, competing in the Rallye du Var, finishing 12th overall and fifth in the R3 class. [2]
During his rallying career, Consani was the 2012 Intercontinental Rally Challenge Production class champion and also raced in the European Rally Championship from 2013 to 2017, [3] [4] scoring two podiums during his tenure in the series, both achieved in 2015 on his way to fourth in points. [5] [6]
After returning to circuit racing in 2016, Consani joined Team Speedcar for the 2017 GT4 European Series Southern Cup season alongside Benjamin Lariche, driving a Ginetta G55. [7] In his first season of GT4 competition Consani scored five podiums, including a Pro-Am win at Dijon, [8] on his way to second in the standings at season's end. [9]
Consani remained with Team Speedcar in the newly-rebranded French GT4 Cup for 2018. [10] In his sophomore season Consani scored his first two series wins, at both Nogaro and Pau, [11] [12] en route to a fourth-place points finish. [13] In 2019 Consani remained in the French GT4 Cup as Team Speedcar switched to the Alpine A110, but was only able to muster three podiums and a pole position to finish the season fifth in points. [14] Staying with Team Speedcar in the French GT4 Cup for 2020 and returning to the Ginetta G55, [15] Consani scored two Silver class wins and seven podiums to finish third in points as the team switched to a Alpine A110 GT4 mid-season. [16]
With Team Speedcar moving to the GT4 European Series for 2021 so did Consani and Lariche, who both made their debuts as the team switched to an Audi R8 LMS GT4 Evo. [17] After finishing 12th in their maiden season, the pair returned for the 2022 season, [18] but made their effective return at Le Castellet after being forced to withdraw from the round at Imola due to a crash in practice. [19] In their sophomore season in the series the pair scored their maiden class podium at Misano, [20] before following it up with their season-best result of second at the Hockenheimring en route to seventh in points. [21]
Both Consani and Lariche were retained by Team Speedcar for 2023. [22] The pair scored their maiden GT4 European Series win in the season-opening round at Monza, [23] which was followed up by them finishing on the podium in all but four races as they finished runner-up in the Silver cup, missing the title by 25 points. [24]
Returning to Team Speedcar the eighth consecutive season, [25] Consani once again finished runner-up in points, missing out on the title by 6 after winning the last four races at both Monza and Jeddah. [26] [27] Consani returned to Team Speedcar for 2025, scoring two wins in first two rounds at Le Castellet and Zandvoort as he took an early championship lead. [28] [29] Following a double podium at Spa, Consani won both races at Misano. [30]
Consani is the son of amateur rally driver Georges Consani and is also the brother of rally driver Stéphane Consani. [31] [32] Consani is also married to Alexandra Consani, who was the executive director of Koiranen GP, which promoted the first two seasons of the F4 Spanish Championship. [33] Together they have one child, Mercedes junior and French F4 driver Andy Consani. [34]
