Giuseppe Cipriani (born 9 June 1965) is an Italian racing driver and businessman.

Biography

[edit]

Cipriani is the grandson of Giuseppe Cipriani, founder of hotel and restaurant chain Cipriani S.A. which includes Harry's Bar. Cipriani today is managing director of the company founded by his grandfather.[1]

Cipriani began his involvement in motorsport in the United States in the late-1980s, competing in the Barber Pro Series. He returned to Italy to compete in domestic Formula 3 in 1990, before moving into team management the following year having founded International Formula 3000 team Il Barone Rampante. Cipriani attempted to buy Tyrrell Racing and enter Formula One in 1992 with IBR, with plans to compete as Benetton's B-team, but was not successful and left motorsport at the end of 1993 in favour of other business interests.[2] Cipriani returned to driving in the late-2000s, which saw him initially compete in open-wheel series including Formula Palmer Audi, Auto GP and Formula V8 3.5 before switching to GT racing in 2018.[3]
