Mattia Drudi

Mattia Drudi was born on February 14, 1996 in Ravenna and grew up in a region where motorsport has deep roots. Like many Italian talents, he began his career in karting, where he developed technical aptitude and racing instinct early on. This foundation laid the groundwork for a path that would take him through numerous junior series into the international motorsport elite.

After moving from karting to formula racing, Drudi progressed through various formula categories, establishing himself as a consistently quick and adaptable driver. The jump into the GT3 arena followed as it became clear that his strengths particularly shine in endurance and sprint formats. Through entries in renowned GT3 championships, he built a reputation as a versatile driver who excels both in positional battles and in tire and strategy management. This career path eventually opened the door to the FIA WEC, where he could prove himself in one of motorsport’s most demanding environments.

Drudi celebrated his biggest career success in 2023 when he secured the title in the GT World Challenge Europe, Sprint Cup. This achievement underscored his ability to consistently deliver peak performance even under the pressure of short, intense racing formats and to assert himself against a strong international field. The title victory stands as one of the milestones that solidified his status as a serious GT and endurance racing specialist.

In the 2026 season, Mattia Drudi continues his career in the FIA WEC, where he continues to aim to build on past successes and establish himself in the fight for top finishes. Details regarding teammates and exact car configuration for the new season will be further finalized ahead of the first race weekends, but the objective remains clear: Drudi wants to bring his experience from GT3 and endurance racing to consistently compete for podium positions and advance his team in the overall standings.
