Operational Assets
Risi Competizione is a professional racing organization and is equipped accordingly.

This infrastructure enables a vertically integrated race organization.  

Consistent Performance
Risi Competizione is one of the most consistent organizations in professional sports. The professionalism of the team has combined to created a team capable of winning any race. To date, the team has won two championships,  achieved 29 podium finishes and has a race completion ratio  of 84%, and a podium place ratio of 64%.

Founded in 1998, Risi Competizione campaigned a Ferrari 333SP through 2001, winning first in class in Le Mans and overall winner in the inaugural Petit Le Mans. In 2002, they campaigned Lola SRPII prototypes finishing third overall at the 24 Hours of Daytona (first in class) in route to winning every race that year and the SRP Championship.

The later half of 2002 began the campaign of the Ferrari 360GT, and Risi Competizione continued a strong and successful campaign with the car through 2003 and 2004. In 2005, Risi Competizione provided U.S. logistical support and technical assistance for Maserati Reparto Corse (Italy), who campaigned the Maserati MC12 in the ALMS series. For 2006, Risi Competizione returned to the ALMS series with the new Ferrari F430GT, which made its North American Debut at the 12 Hours of Sebring with a strong 3rd place finish.
