'''Scuderia Vittore''' is an Italian racing team founded in 2015 by Italian entrepreneur '''Luigi Vittore''' and ex-racing driver '''Jose Braggia''', originally to compete in the [[Rejects of LFS]] championship. Shortly thereafter, they moved into sportscars, and are now the designated manufacturer team for Ferrari in the [[GT-Rejects World Championship]].


== History ==
=== Origins in single seaters ===
==== 2015 - Rejects of LFS ====
The team made its first foray into motorsport in the now defunct Rejects of LFS series, and at the time were known as '''Tissot Scuderia Vittore Mercedes'''. Italian [[Andrea Bianchi]] was signed to drive for the team in their debut campaign, after a relatively successful [[F1 Rejects Indy Championship Series|F1RICS]] campaign, alongside young German [[Martyn Rietacher]], who graduated from British Formula 3. Luigi Vittore managed to convince Mercedes to supply the team with engines for the [[2015 Rejects of LFS season|2015]] season.

On one side of the garage, the team was immediately a front-runner, with Rietacher winning the opening Heat race of the season, and also taking a feature race victory at Fern Bay. While the German would go on to to finish 3rd in the drivers' championship, his team-mate Bianchi suffered a far less enjoyable year. After spinning out of the opening feature race of the year, he publicly criticised the team, and as punishment was dropped for Spanish rookie - and the team's test driver - [[Marcos Marcia]]. He returned for Fern Bay, where he won his heat, but left again after that weekend to focus on his F1RICS career instead.

Marcia started brightly, with a 2nd place in his opening appearance for the Westhill heat race, but would fail to score any other points for the duration of the season.

==== 2016 - International Formula Reject Challenge ====
When the Rejects of LFS season was dissolved at the end of 2015, Vittore elected to enter the new series from the same organisers of the aforementioned series - [[2016 International Formula Reject Challenge season|International Formula Reject Challenge]] - the following year. With the new formula came a new engine partner and title sponsor. In place of Mercedes came American marque Acura, with the team branded as '''Acura Racing Team''' during the season.

The team suffered from instability, fielding no less than eight drivers during the course of the season. Their most featured driver during the course of the year was [[Alberto Cara]], who managed a podium in the Mexico feature race, but only scored a handful of other points all year in the 8 weekends he attended (out a total of 12).

Their next most frequent pilot was [[Jordan Davies]], who did half of the races, all of which were in the second half of the year. He was the team's most consistent points scorer, often finishing in the Top 5, and so brought the team more points than any other driver during the course of the year. Frenchman [[Benoît Voeckler]] also made several appearances, while [[Calvin Brooks]], [[Angel Jose Castañeda]], [[Daniela Anger]], [[Jan van der Maeyede]] and [[Geoff Donnelly]] made brief cameos during the season.

=== GT-R World Championship ===
==== 2016 - Lister Privateer ====
2016 also saw Vittore make its first foray into the world of sportscars. Entering as a privateer team with a Lister Storm, they lined up with the pairing of South African [[Denis van Walwijk]], with [[Alexis Tantovich]] of Ukraine his co-pilot.

The highlight of their debut season was a podium at Paul Ricard, beating several factory cars in the process, including both factory Listers. They scored consistently in the lower points paying positions during the season, albeit with their form dropping off towards the end of the season.

They also prepared a second Lister Storm for fellow privateer team [[Puyo Puyo]], who they outscored 24-14 over the course of the season. They were the second best Lister crew in the championship, edging out the second factory Storm GT by 3 points in the drivers' championship.

==== 2017 - Ferrari manufacturer status ====
At the end of 2016, [[Il Barone Rampante]] switched from running the factory Ferrari programme to field the new works Maserati effort, and Vittore were successful in assuming their positions as the factory supported Ferrari squad in the series. With this change, they expanded to running two cars under their own banner, with Tantovich leaving and three new drivers coming into the team: former [[Alternate Formula One|F1]] driver [[Alexandre-Laurent Voeckler]] joined Italian duo [[Lorenzo Crescenzi]] and [[Natalia Valenti]] in becoming their quartet of drivers of the year, and by extension, factory Ferrari drivers.

The team picked up from where IBR left off, establishing themselves as title contenders in both championships. The two pairings of Van Walwijk/Crescenzi and Voeckler/Valenti won a race apiece, with the former duo coming close to the drivers' championship title.

=== Touring Cars ===
==== 2017 - AutoReject GTi ====
Vittore diversified further in 2017, branching into the AutoReject GTi spec-series, where all drivers used the Volkswagen Lupo GTi. Taking over [[Plus One Racing Engineering]]'s entry in the series from the previous year, it inherited their driver pairing of [[Pedro Renales]] and [[James Turner]].

Their new venture brought immediate success, with Renales and Turner winning six of the nine races during the season (three apiece), finishing 1st and 2nd in the Drivers' Championship respectively, and securing the Teams' Championship with it.

==== 2018 - SEAT Leon Supercopa ====
With both drivers from the previous year departing for [[2018 International Pro Car season|International Pro Car]], they drafted in Plus One protege [[Martin van der Maeyede]] to lead the team, with American rookie [[Riley Griffith]] partnering him.

Van der Maeyede continued the team's good fortune by finishing 2nd in the championship with two victories, albeit a long way behind that year's series champion [[Manuarii Vahirua]]. Griffith however lasted only a single race, before being replaced for the rest of the year by [[Nelson Odewa]]. While not as impressive as his Dutch team-mate, Odewa was at least consistent in scoring points, placing in the Top 10 in five of his eight races during the season.

Despite finishing the year as one of the front-running teams in the series, Vittore wound up its touring car operation at the end of the season, having elected to focus solely on its commitments to Ferrari in sportscars.
