Rinaldi Racing has confirmed that Ferrari factory driver Davide Rigon will join the team for its 2025 GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup effort. He’ll compete alongside the returning Christian Hook and David Perel in the Bronze Cup aboard the team’s Ferrari 296 GT3.
Last season, Rigon competed for AF Corse-Francorchamps Motors in the Pro class. He shared a car with eventual champions Alessandro Pier Guidi and Alessio Rovera in four of the five rounds, but was unable to win the title himself having missed the penultimate race at Monza.
He will again miss a round this year, with his IMSA Sportscar Championship commitments with DragonSpeed set to take priority over the season finale in Barcelona.
Hook and 2x 24 Hours of Spa class winner Perel both made their return to the Endurance Cup last year after multiple seasons racing elsewhere. The duo, alongside Felipe Fernández Laser, took a best finish of seventh in class at Monza.
The German team has changed the number for 2025, with #12 replacing the #333 used last season.
The 2025 GT World Challenge Europe season begins with the Prologue next week at Circuit Paul Ricard on 10/11 March. The same venue will host the season opener on 11-13 April.
