Matteo Cressoni

Matteo Cressoni was born in Italy and grew up in a family dedicated to motorsport from an early age. As a child, he sat in a kart for the first time, and his talent on the track quickly became apparent. What began as a hobby rapidly developed into a serious passion that took him through various national and international kart series and laid the foundation for his later career in motorsport.

After successful years in kart racing, Cressoni made the leap into junior formulas and gained important experience there in handling more powerful vehicles and dealing with the pressure of higher categories. Through these stations, he eventually found his way into GT3 racing, where he established himself as a consistent and fast driver. This progression opened the door to the FIA World Endurance Championship, where he established himself in the GTE class and became a sought-after driver for factory teams.

Cressoni’s greatest success to date came in 2021 when he clinched the drivers’ title in the LMGTE class of the FIA WEC. This title win marked the pinnacle of years of hard work and confirmed his status as one of the outstanding GTE drivers of his generation. The success brought him not only international recognition but also solidified his place in the tight circle of top drivers in the long-distance racing scene.

For the 2026 season, Cressoni remains faithful to the FIA WEC and continues to compete with the goal of building on the successes of his career so far. Details about his current team and teammates will be clarified as the season progresses, but the focus is clearly on fighting for top positions both in the overall championship and in individual races. With his experience and the 2021 WEC title under his belt, he is regarded as one of the drivers to watch in the coming season.
