Raffaele Marciello

Raffaele Marciello was born on January 15, 1994 in Genoa and grew up in a family closely connected to motorsport from an early age. Like many Italian talents of his generation, he began his career in kart racing, where he quickly developed technical understanding and racing instinct. This foundation paved the way for him in European Formula junior series, where he quickly established himself as one of the most promising talents of his year.

His consistent progression through the Formula classes brought Marciello to the FIA Formula 3 European Championship, which he won in 2013. This title is considered one of the most important milestones of his career and confirmed his potential on the international stage. After Formula racing, his focus increasingly shifted to GT vehicles, where he became active in GT3 programs with factory support from major manufacturers and developed into one of the most consistent and fastest GT drivers in the international field over the following years.

In the GT3 scene, Marciello is among the most successful drivers of his era, with numerous victories in prestigious endurance and sprint races that earned him an excellent reputation in the paddock. This experience in professional endurance racing provided the logical foundation for his transition to the FIA World Endurance Championship, where he brought his accustomed consistency and technical finesse to an even more demanding environment that requires the highest precision over many hours of racing.

For the 2026 season, Raffaele Marciello enters the FIA WEC with clear ambitions. After years of building in junior series and GT3 programs, his focus is now on consistent progress in endurance racing. His goal is to build on the successes of his career so far and establish himself as a mainstay in the international endurance circuit, with his experience from the GT3 sphere continuing to serve as an important strength.
