Raffaele Giammaria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Raffaele Giammaria (born 1977) is an Italian racing car driver.

He was runner-up in the Formula Renault 2000 Italy series in 2000, then progressed through German and Italian Formula Three and Italian Formula 3000 to International Formula 3000 for 2003 with the Durnago team. He scored one podium and was placed tenth in the championship with 12 points, a respectable score in his début season.

2004 was even better for Giammaria, with 27 points scored and eighth place in the championship secured by the season's end. However, he missed one of the races due to financial peoblems, and was forced to switch teams, from Spiero IE to Astromega.

It was therefore not much of a surprise when he failed to get a drive in the rebranded GP2 Series for 2005. He competed in World Series by Renault and Italian F3000 instead, but only in part-time roles. He was also part of A1 Team Italy for the inagural season of the A1 Grand Prix series, but never drove the car.

He is currently competing in Italian GT for 2006.
