Roberto "Robbie" Pecorari (born May 12, 1987) is an American racing driver from Aston, Pennsylvania.
One of America's most successful young karters, Pecorari won numerous regional and national World Karting Association and Stars of Karting championships before moving up to cars in late 2003. In 2004, he competed in numerous open-wheel developmental series, including Skip Barber Formula Dodge, where he finished fifth in series points, and the Star Mazda Series. In 2005, he competed in Star Mazda full-time and finished second in the championship, winning two races and rookie of the year honors.
In 2006, Pecorari competed in the Champ Car Atlantic Series for Gelles Racing, winning at Toronto and finishing eleventh in points. In 2007, he moved to the rival Indy Pro Series driving for Team KMA Racing,[1] where he finished eighth in points with one win at Nashville Superspeedway. The series changed names to the Firestone Indy Lights Series for 2008 and Pecorari was left without a full-time ride. After missing the first race, Pecorari drove for three different teams on a part-time schedule, making twelve starts with a runner-up finish at Kansas Speedway and finished sixteenth in points.
In April 2009, Pecorari participated in an A1 Grand Prix Rookie Driver test session for A1 Team USA.
