Cédric Sbirrazzuoli (born 20 August 1987) is a Monégasque racing driver who competes in the IMSA SportsCar Championship for Conquest Racing.

A long-time sportscar driver for AF Corse, Sbirrazzuoli is a class winner of the Petit Le Mans and Bathurst 12 Hour along with being a former member of Lamborghini's GT3 Junior Driver Programme.

Career

Sbirrazzuoli made his car racing debut in 2005 by racing in both the Formula Azzurra and Formula Gloria championships.[1] After leaving single-seaters at the end of 2006 and competing part-time in Carrera Cup Italy across the following two years, Sbirrazzuoli raced part-time for Pecom Racing and AF Corse in 2009 in the FIA GT Championship and GT4 European Cup, respectively.[2][3]

In 2010, Sbirrazzuoli transitioned to the Superstars GTSprint Series, where drove in the first five rounds for AF Corse alongside Niki Cadei.[4] After winning at Monza and Algarve to kick off the season, Sbirrazzuoli won at the Hockenheimring and at his final outing of the season at Le Castellet as he ended the year third in points.[5][6]

Sbirrazzuoli then remained with AF Corse as he spent the next three seasons with them in the Trofeo Maserati World Series, winning at least one race in every season,[7][8][9] before switching to their European Le Mans Series programme for 2014.[10] Racing in the GTC class in his maiden season in the series, Sbirrazzuoli scored one podium in the five-race season, a third-place finish at the Red Bull Ring, as he ended the year eighth in points.[11]

Remaining with AF Corse for 2015, Sbirrazzuoli raced in the Blancpain Endurance Series alongside Adrien de Leener,[12] while joining STR alongside Richard Antinucci and Lawrence DeGeorge in Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America.[13] In the former, Sbirrazzuoli scored a lone podium at the season-ending round at the Nürburgring, finishing second in the Pro-Am class as he ended the year 11th in the class standings.[14] In the latter, Sbirrazzuoli won both races at Laguna Seca with Antinucci,[15] before completing the season with DeGeorge as he closed out the year runner-up in the Pro-Am points.[16]

Sbirrazzuoli then joined Enrico Bertaggia's Dream Racing Motorsport for a double program in the IMSA SportsCar Championship and Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America as he represented the Lamborghini GT3 Junior Team in 2016.[17][18] Racing in all but two rounds, Sbirrazzuoli took a best result of sixth in the GTD class at the season-ending Petit Le Mans.[19] Despite taking two pole positions in the latter, Sbirrazzuoli wasn't able to score a podium in the Pro-Am class throughout the season as he ended the season seventh in points.[20]

In 2017, Sbirrazzuoli returned to Dream Racing for selected rounds of the IMSA SportsCar Championship alongside Paolo Ruberti as a Lamborghini junior for the second consecutive season.[21][22] The Monégasque then was set to compete in Pirelli World Challenge during 2017, but never competed despite appearing on the entry list for three rounds.[23] Sbirrazzuoli eventually raced in the series the following year for DXDT Racing,[24] along with a part-time schedule in Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia.[25] The following year, Sbirrazzuoli returned to Super Trofeo North America and Dream Racing Motorsport, racing in the Pro class alongside Ruberti.[26] The duo won at Virginia International Raceway and Jerez as they finished fifth in points.[27][28]

The following year, Sbirrazzuoli made his debut in the Bathurst 12 Hour, racing with T2 Racing in the Invitational class.[29] Despite testing for Optimum Motorsport in March of that year,[30] Sbirrazzuoli only competed in one more race in 2020, taking part in the 24 Hours of Spa with Dinamic Motorsport.[31] The following year, Sbirrazzuoli returned to AF Corse, with whom he competed on a part-time basis in both the Italian GT Endurance and Sprint championships,[32] taking a lone GT Cup win at Mugello in the former and a best result of second at Imola in the latter.[33]

Staying with AF Corse for 2022, Sbirrazzuoli competed alongside Hugo Delacour in both the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup and the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup alongside Alessandro Balzan for the latter.[34] In the former, Sbirrazzuoli took two class wins at Brands Hatch and Zandvoort on his way to fourth in the Pro-Am points.[35][36] Whereas in the latter, Sbirrazzuoli took two Gold Cup podiums at Imola and Hockenheimring as he ended the year sixth in class.[37]

Having sat out most of 2023, Sbirrazzuoli reunited with Conquest Racing for the final three rounds of the GT4 America Series.[38] At the end of the year, Sbirrazzuoli also returned to AF Corse to compete in the final round of the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup at Barcelona,[39] where he finished third in the Silver class.[40]

After winning the 2024 Bathurst 12 Hour in the Invitational class,[41] Sbirrazzuoli returned to the IMSA SportsCar Championship, with Conquest Racing for the Endurance rounds alongside Manny Franco and Albert Costa.[42] Starting off the season with a third-place finish at the 24 Hours of Daytona,[43] Sbirrazzuoli finished second at the Six Hours of The Glen before winning the Petit Le Mans at the end of the year.[44][45] Sbirrazzuoli then returned to AF Corse for the 2024–25 Asian Le Mans Series season alongside Riccardo Agostini and Custodio Toledo.[46] In the three-round season, Sbirrazzuoli scored a lone podium in the season-opening round at Sepang, which helped him to finish 13th in the GT points.[47]

Sbirrazzuoli was retained by Conquest Racing as the team's third driver for the 2025 IMSA SportsCar Championship season,[48] competing in the first two races of the season before leaving the team ahead of Watkins Glen.[49] Sbirrazzuoli was also set to race in select rounds of the European Le Mans Series for AF Corse as a stand-in for Lilou Wadoux, but ultimately didn't race as Wadoux left Super GT to focus on ELMS.[50]
