Career in motorsport

Piergiuseppe Perazzini has been active as a GT and sports car driver since the late 1990s . In 2003 he was the overall winner of the Italian GT Championship on a Chrysler Viper GTS-R . In 2004 he was able to repeat this success and again became the overall winner of this series. In 2007 the engagements became more international, with appearances in the European Le Mans Series and the International GT Open .

Perazzini competed four times in the Le Mans 24-hour race . In 2013 he finished second in the LM-GT-Am class.

At the 2012 24-hour race , Perazzini was the trigger for Anthony Davidson's serious accident . After almost 4 ½ hours of driving, Davidson had taken the lead in the Toyota TS030 Hybrid when he ran into Perazzini in the Ferrari 458 Italia GTC while braking the Mulsanne and tried to lap it. Perazzini underestimated the gap between the much faster Toyota and his Ferrari and returned to the racing line too early. Both vehicles had an accident and broke down.
