25 February 2025 – DragonSpeed has signed Italian Giacomo Altoè for the remainder of the 2025 IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship. Altoè will partner Albert Costa for the rest of the IMSA calendar’s sprint and Michelin Endurance Cup events, with Ferrari factory driver Davide Rigon joining them for the long distance rounds after his strong run in the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

The 24-year-old Altoè started in Formula 4 and touring cars before turning to GT competition, where he enjoyed a breakthrough season in 2024 at the wheel of Ferrari 296 GT3 entries in Europe and the US. His speed at this year’s Rolex 24 earned him the second full-time DragonSpeed seat.

Following an impressive season-opening performance at Daytona, which saw DragonSpeed emerge as the leading Ferrari to finish sixth in the GTD Pro class, the team is keen to build on its momentum heading into next month’s Mobil 1 Sebring 12 Hours endurance classic.

Altoè said, “I’m extremely motivated for this opportunity! IMSA is a world-class championship and to be able to join DragonSpeed alongside Albert and Davide is a great chance. I can’t wait to start working with the team in two weeks’ time at Sebring!”

DragonSpeed Team Principal Elton Julian said, “We’re excited to welcome Giacomo to the team full time. He shares familiarity with, and success in, the 296 GT3 with Albert and Davide, making him the perfect fit as we continue our push for podiums and victories this season.”
