RISI COMPETIZIONE TO FIELD FERRARI 488 AT SRO MOTORSPORTS AMERICA EVENT AT CIRCUIT
OF THE AMERICAS, MARCH 1-3
Anthony Lazzaro and Pierre Mulacek to Run Ferrari 488 GT3 in Blancpain GT World 
Challenge America Series in Sprint X GT Am Class
(Houston, Texas, February 28, 2019)...The Texas based Risi Competizione Team announces
a second entry for the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) SRO Motorsports America event
this weekend in Austin, Texas.
Long-time Ferrari driver and coach Anthony Lazzaro, of Atlanta, Georgia, will pair
with Texan Pierre Mulacek in the No. 82 Risi Competizione Ferrari 488 GT3 in the
 Sprint X GT Am class for the Blancpain GT World Challenge America championship,
 March 1-3.
The double Bronze-rated driving duo competed together in two races last year for
 a double Top 10 finish. They are returning with high hopes for Round 1 of the 2019
season after a successful test at COTA last week in the Ferrari 488.
Lazzaro has a racing background that includes sports car racing, IndyCar, and numerous
NASCAR series, including as a 'road course ringer'. He's also been a driving coach
for many years, aiding new drivers with the nuances of race car control, speed, 
data and telemetry evaluation, and the like.

Anthony Lazzaro returns to Risi Competizione

One of Lazzaro's students is his co-driver, Austin businessman Pierre Mulacek, Founding
Shareholder and Director of Quantumsine.
"Anthony and I work together without compromise and do the best for the team," said
Mulacek. "We have a great connection of histories and the best state-of-the-art 
car, which is a big plus in racing. The best thing about Risi is their history and
they are a first-class operation.
"I love the COTA circuit and my favorite part is the SS. The most challenging part
of the circuit is getting maximum acceleration out of the slow corners."

"I feel very fortunate that Pierre gave me a call to race at COTA with him and Risi
Competizione," said Lazzaro. "We got our feet wet last year at the Utah round of
 PWC Sprint X and we had a good time, learned a lot and found out there is more 
to learn! I think COTA will be different because it's Pierre's home track and he
 knows his way around the circuit. We had a very productive one-day test last Monday.
The series has changed since last year, and I believe for the better. The races 
are 1.5 hours in length, both drivers get to qualify, and the quality of the field
is better.
"Racing with Risi has always been an honor for me. I met Giuseppe in 1993, in Savannah,
Georgia at the first Ferrari Challenge event in North America, introduced by our
 good friend Dave Seibert. I first raced for Risi in 1999 in the 333SP, from there
it has been a very special relationship over many years. I have been involved with
the Risi Ferrari Challenge team for the last 15 years. I'm proud to be back with
 Risi and their continued involvement with Ferrari in GT3, a customer-based race
 car which adds another dimension to their GTLM program.
"This year will be my 13th year as a Corsa Pilota instructor and this is the foundation
for everything Ferrari and customer racing. I love driving a red Risi Competizione
Ferrari and I have that opportunity again thanks to Pierre!"
"We're happy to have Pierre and Anthony for CoTA," said Rick Mayer, Risi Competizione
Race Engineer. "This should be a competitive pairing for a good finish in the GT
 Am class."
Risi Competizione, owned by Giuseppe Risi, has a 20-year history and an undeniable
standing as a leader in racing with numerous global championships, endurance and
 sprint victories and an impeccable reputation that goes with the name. Mr. Risi
 is also the owner of Ferrari of Houston and Ferrari of The Woodlands.
