Mattia Michelotto

Mattia Michelotto (born 12 January 2003 in Villafranca Padovana) is an Italian racing driver currently competing in the 2025 Italian GT Championship for Vincenzo Sospiri Racing.

He is a two-time Italian GT class champion, having also won the Lamborghini Super Trofeo World Final in 2021 alongside Karol Basz.

Michelotto began karting at the age of five, and raced in karts until 2018. During his time in karts, Michelotto won the Easykart International Grand Finals in 2013, the WSK Night Edition, Trofeo delle Industrie and the WSK Final Cup all in 2015 in the Mini class.

After testing Formula 4 machinery, Michelotto stepped up to car racing in 2019, signing with Antonelli Motorsport to race in the GT Light class of both the Italian GT Endurance and Sprint championships, including a one-off round in the GT4 class in the latter at Vallelunga. In the endurance series, Michelotto was on the podium in all four races, winning three of them on his way to the GT Light title at Mugello. In the latter meanwhile, Michelotto won race one at Mugello and finished runner-up in the GT Light standings.

In 2020, Michelotto stayed in both Italian GT championships, albeit stepping up to GT3 Pro-Am by joining Easy Race alongside Matteo Greco and Sean Hudspeth. In the endurance championship, Michelotto took class wins at Imola and Monza en route to the GT3 Pro-Am title. In the sprint championship, Michelotto won in his class in race two at the season-opening Misano round and race one at the season-ending Vallelunga round to finish runner-up in the GT3 Pro-Am standings.

Joining the Lamborghini Young Driver Programme for 2021, Michelotto joined VS Racing to compete in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe alongside Luis Michael Dörrbecker. In his first season in the series, Michelotto finished on the podium at Le Castellet and Misano, on their way to ninth in points. Before the year ended, Michelotto won both races of the Super Trofeo World Finals at Misano alongside Karol Basz, en route to the title at the end of the weekend.

Michelotto returned to Vincenzo Sospiri Racing in 2022, albeit only competing full-time in the Italian GT Endurance Championship, whilst also retaining his Lamborghini junior status. Racing alongside Karol Basz and Benjamín Hites, the trio won in the opening round at Pergusa, but after finishing second at Mugello, they didn't score a podium in the final two races of the season, relegating them to fourth in the overall standings. During 2022, Michelotto also made his GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup at that year's 24 Hours of Spa for Vincenzo Sospiri Racing.

Staying for Vincenzo Sospiri Racing for the third year in a row, Michelotto raced full-time in both Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe and the 2023 Italian GT Sprint Championship. In the former, Michelotto won the season-opening round at Le Castellet, before taking further wins at Spa, Nürburgring and Vallelunga, on his way to runner-up honours behind Brendon Leitch. In the latter, Michelotto took his first win of the season in the penultimate round of the season at Mugello in race two, before winning the season-ending race two at Imola to finish runner-up in the overall GT3 standings. During 2023, Michelotto made his debut in the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup at the second round of the season at Misano.
