After a triumphant 2021 season with a debut victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the World Championship title in the GTE Am class of the FIA World Endurance Championship (where he was also awarded as Revelation of the Year), Alessio Rovera has been an official driver for Ferrari Competizioni GT since 2022. He has since added more titles and victories to his career in prestigious global and international series, driving Ferrari's race GT cars in both the FIA World Endurance Championship and GT World Challenge, as well as competing in prototype categories in the FIA World Endurance Championship and the European Le Mans Series.
Among his most significant achievements in the most important races, he has secured victories and podiums at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Spa, but he is also a regular presence in the classic races of the North American IMSA series and made his debut in Australia by competing in the renowned 12 Hours of Bathurst.
