Piergiuseppe Perazzini

Alongside his racing career, Perazzini works as a surgeon and is the president of Clinica San Francesco in Verona,^[3][4] which was founded by his parents in 1956.^[5]

Perazzini made his car racing debut in 1997, racing in the Misano 12 Hours for Megadrive.^[6] Six years later, Perazzini made his full-time debut in cars, as he joined Racing Box to compete in the Italian GT Championship aboard a Chrysler Viper GTS-R.^[7] After securing wins at Misano and Pergusa,^[8] Perazzini won both races at Magione and secured his first Italian GT title with a sixth win of the season at Vallelunga.^[9] During 2003, Perazzini also made a one-off appearance in the GT class of the FIA GT Championship for Megadrive at Monza.^[10]

Remaining with Megadrive for 2004, Perazzini began the season by taking wins at Imola, Monza and Magione,^[11] before ending the season with a win at Vallelunga five rounds later to clinch his second consecutive Italian GT title.^[12] Continuing with Megadrive as they switched to a Maserati MC12 for 2005, Perazzini scored five wins and four other podiums en route to a third-place points finish.^[13] During 2005, Perazzini also finished third in the Mil Milhas Brasileiras for Racing Box.^[14] Another season in Italian GT with Racing Box then ensued, in which he scored a lone win at Monza en route to a ninth-place points finish.^[15] During 2006, Perazzini also raced with the same team for most of the International GT Open season,^[16] as well as the 6 Hours of Vallelunga, which he won alongside Pedro Lamy and Marco Cioci.^[17]

In 2007, Perazzini moved to the Le Mans Series as Racing Box campaigned a Saleen S7-R in the GT1 class, scoring a lone podium at Valencia to end the year seventh in points.^[18] Perazzini then returned to the Italian GT Championship for 2008, beginning a prolific Ferrari career with three podiums as he ended the season 10th in points, before capping off the year with his second win at the 6 Hours of Vallelunga, this time for Advanced Engineering.^[19] The following year, Perazzini continued with Megadrive for a dual program in both International GT Open and Italian GT,^[20] in which he found more success in the latter as he secured runner-up honors in GT2 with five wins to his name.^[21]

Joining AF Corse for 2010, Perazzini raced a Ferrari F430 GTC in the GT2 class of the Italian GT Championship, in which he scored an outright win at Mugello and a class win at Magione to secure a fifth-place points finish.^[22] During 2010, Perazzini also competed in the LMP2 class of the Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans for Racing Box.^[23] Remaining with AF Corse for 2011, Perazzini finished runner-up in the LMGTE Am standings of the Le Mans Series with a best result of second.^[24] During 2011, Perazzini also raced with them at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, as well as the 6 Hours of Vallelunga, which he won as he secured the Endurance Champions Cup title.^[25]

The following year, Perazzini won the inaugural Gulf 12 Hours,^[26] before finishing runner-up in the LMGTE Am standings of the European Le Mans Series with the new Ferrari 458 Italia GT2.^[27] During the 2012 24 Hours of Le Mans, Perazzini suffered a spectacular crash as he tagged the rear of the No. 8 Toyota of Anthony Davidson at Mulsanne corner, sending Davidson airborne and into the barrier at high speed.^[28] Davidson fractured his T11 and T12 vertebrae.^[29] Perazzini was unhurt, and returned two months later to take his first FIA World Endurance Championship win at the 6 Hours of Silverstone.^[30] In 2013, Perazzini remained with AF Corse for another season in the LMGTE class of the European Le Mans Series, in which he scored a pair of podiums to end the year fourth in points.^[31] During 2013, Perazzini also finished second in class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and scored his third 6 Hours of Vallelunga win towards the end of the year.^[32]

Continuing with AF Corse for another ELMS season in 2014,^[33] Perazzini finished sixth in the LMGTE standings with a best result of second at Estoril,^[34] before ending the year with a win at the 6 Hours of Vallelunga and a class podium at the Gulf 12 Hours.^[35] During 2014, Perazzini also raced in select rounds of the United SportsCar Championship for Spirit of Race in GTD.^[36] After a season in the Blancpain Endurance Series and an appearance at the 2015 12 Hours of Sebring,^[37][38] Perazzini returned to the European Le Mans Series for the following year, scoring a best result of second at the Red Bull Ring en route to an eighth-place points finish in GTE.^[39] During 2016, Perazzini also raced a Ferrari 488 for AF Corse in a one-off appearance in International GT Open, as well as competing for AT Racing at the 24 Hours of Spa.^[40]

In 2017, Perazzini remained with AF Corse as he returned to International GT Open,^[41] in which he scored a lone Pro-Am win at Spa and three other podiums to end the year runner-up in points.^[42] At the end of the year, Perazzini won the 6 Hours of Vallelunga for the same team, driving a Ligier JS P3.^[43] After starting 2018 in the 24H Proto Series for Spirit of Race,^[44] Perazzini returned to AF Corse for the rest of the year to race in the GT3 class of the Le Mans Cup, in which he scored a lone win at Road to Le Mans to end the season fourth in points.^[45] Towards the end of 2018, Perazzini represented Italy in the only edition of the FIA GT Nations Cup alongside Matteo Cressoni.^[46]
