After spending numerous years in Italian and Australian lower formulae, Mapelli made a gradual switch to the GT racing scene at the end of the 2000s, eventually taking part in and winning the Italian GT Sprint Championship's GTC class in 2010. Following a runner-up finish in the 2011 Porsche Carrera Cup Italia, Mapelli made a permanent move towards GT3 competition, spending two seasons in the International GT Open and four years in Italian GT, where he finished second in the standing on two occasions.[citation needed]
In 2017, Mapelli was added to the Lamborghini works driver lineup.[4] Two irregular seasons followed, with the highlight being a race win in the ADAC GT Masters and multiple podiums in the 2018 Blancpain GT Series Asia, before Mapelli joined FFF Racing Team for the 2019 season.[5] He and teammate Andrea Caldarelli experienced a successful campaign, winning both the GT World Challenge Europe and Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup titles to be crowned Blancpain GT Series champions.[6][7]
Since 2020, Mapelli has continued driving for Lamborghini-fielding teams in GT3 series, winning races in the GTWC Endurance Cup, ADAC GT Masters, and Asian Le Mans Series.[citation needed]
