HOUSTON, Texas – The Risi Competizione Ferrari Team has announced plans to compete in the running of the 59th annual Rolex 24 at Daytona at Daytona Int’l Speedway.

The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship endurance race will be held Jan. 27-31, and proceeded by the Roar Before the 24 test days on Jan. 22-24.

Drivers for the No. 62 Rosso Corsa Ferrari for Daytona will be England’s James Calado, Italians Alessandro Pier Guidi and Davide Rigon and Frenchman Jules Gounon. Calado, Pier Guidi and Rigon are all Ferrari Competizioni GT factory drivers and have competed with Risi in the Rolex 24 a number of years.

Gounon, who has two runs with the Risi team at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, will be making his Risi Competizione Daytona debut and third appearance at the twice-around-the-clock American enduro.

The Risi Competizione’s 2021 Rolex 24 effort is the 20th entry since 1998, which has included one class victory (2002), and four additional podium finishes. Last year the team finished sixth in the GTLM class after a strong run, but a high-speed tire puncture caused extensive damage and withdrawal.
