Gianluca Carboni returns to a Wolf Racing Cars prototype this weekend at Imola. The Viterbese driver from Bagnoregio, born in 1980, has a great experience in motorsport, spent largely in the cockpit of GT cars; then the contact with prototypes in 2017, before taking part the following year in the first Campionato Italiano Sport Prototipi on Wolf Racing GB08 Thunder powered by Aprilia. A growing season his, which had culminated on the podium in the very last race of the year at Mugello Circuit, crowning a performance that earned him ninth place in the overall drivers' standings.

Since then, however, he has not taken to the track in his Wolf GB08 Thunder, returning to race in GT. He went back to drive his prototype again only in 2019, on the occasion of the 47th Castellana Cronoscalata, in which he gained the victory in his category. In 2022 Gianluca Carboni took part in Campionato Italiano Gran Turismo Sprint, in duo with Lorenzo Pegoraro on Lamborghini Huracan Supertrofeo in the Monza and Misano rounds. At Autodromo Enzo and Dino Ferrari, however, we will not see him as a GT driver, but we will get to witness his highly anticipated return to the  Italian Championship on Wolf Racing Cars.

 

After 4 years in fact Carboni is ready to take to the track again and, with great enthusiasm welcomes the challenge of the Championship already looking at the possibility of a full season in 2023. There will be no shortage of determination and enthusiasm of a driver who can, right from the first moments of the weekend, show great moves thanks to his qualities.

Gianluca Carboni: "from 2018 I return with great pleasure. I took part in the Italian Sport Prototypes Championship in my first year with this car and I immediately found it very enjoyable. Mine is a return that also looks to the future, with the participation in the 2023 season in sight. I particularly want to thank Ivan Bellarosa for the opportunity to get on track, an opportunity that came last minute and I couldn’t miss it! Imola is my favorite track, I hope to do well, the desire to win is there. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to test, I haven't been behind the wheel of the Wolf for several years, I'll have to make the most of the practice sessions and lapping as much as I can while treasuring what I've learned in the past."
