Marco Mapelli

Marco Mapelli (born 1 August 1987 in Seregno, Italy) is an Italian racing driver. He is part of the Lamborghini factory stable, with whom he has won the overall 2019 Blancpain GT Series title.

After spending numerous years in Italian and Australian lower formulae, Mapelli made a gradual switch to the GT racing scene at the end of the 2000s, eventually taking part in and winning the Italian GT Sprint Championship's GTC class in 2010. Following a runner-up finish in the 2011 Porsche Carrera Cup Italia, Mapelli made a permanent move towards GT3 competition, spending two seasons in the International GT Open and four years in Italian GT, where he finished second in the standing on two occasions.

In 2017, Mapelli was added to the Lamborghini works driver lineup. Two irregular seasons followed, with the highlight being a race win in the ADAC GT Masters and multiple podiums in the 2018 Blancpain GT Series Asia, before Mapelli joined FFF Racing Team for the 2019 season. He and teammate Andrea Caldarelli experienced a successful campaign, winning both the GT World Challenge Europe and Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup titles to be crowned Blancpain GT Series champions.

Since 2020, Mapelli has continued driving for Lamborghini-fielding teams in GT3 series, winning races in the GTWC Endurance Cup, ADAC GT Masters, and Asian Le Mans Series.
