				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two races, two finishes. A result that translates into valuable points for <b>Riccardo Agostini</b>, who secured seventh place on his debut at the <b>Sebring 12 Hours</b>, held this past weekend.</p>
<p>The Italian driver, at the wheel of the <b>Triarsi Competizione</b> <b>Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo</b> shared with <b>James Calado</b> and <b>Miguel Molina</b>, followed up his eighth-place finish at January’s 24 Hours of Daytona by crossing the line seventh in the <b>GTD Pro</b> <b>class</b> in Florida.</p>
<p>This result allowed the American team’s crew to climb to sixth in the <b>IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship Endurance Cup</b> standings, with the Sebring 12 Hours marking the second of five rounds in the series.</p>
<p>It was not an easy race, with the drivers making the most of the car’s performance, although it proved slightly lacking compared to its rivals &#8211; particularly in terms of straight-line speed. Nevertheless, there were two key positives: Agostini, Calado and Molina managed to recover from 10th on the grid to finish seventh, and they also gained two positions in the standings, now sitting just one point shy of fifth place in the championship.</p>
<p>The next round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship will be the <b>Six Hours of Watkins Glen</b> at the end of June. Before that, Agostini will face another major commitment in the <b>European Le Mans Series</b>, driving the <b>Richard Mille AF Corse Ferrari</b>, with the opening two rounds at <b>Barcelona</b> (April 12) and <b>Paul Ricard</b> (May.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Less than two months after the 24 Hours of Daytona, which opened the <b>2026 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship</b> season, <b>Riccardo Agostini</b> returns to action this weekend for the <b>Sebring 12 Hours</b>, the second round of the American endurance series.</p>
<p>At the Florida circuit &#8211; widely regarded as one of the most technical and demanding tracks on the calendar &#8211; the Italian driver will once again take the wheel of the <b>Triarsi Competizione Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo</b>. He will share driving duties with <b>James Calado</b> and <b>Miguel Molina</b>, while Alessio Rovera, who is usually part of the line-up for longer races, will not be competing on this occasion.</p>
<p>For Agostini, this represents a significant challenge, with a total of 13 cars entered in his class alone, representing nine different manufacturers. The historic circuit, built on a former military airfield, is well known for its bumpy surface, high temperatures, and extremely demanding conditions for both cars and drivers.</p>
<p>At Daytona &#8211; marking his third appearance in the 24-hour race and his debut in the top GTD Pro class &#8211; Agostini finished eighth, securing his first championship points. The goal for the upcoming weekend will therefore be to aim higher and climb further up the standings.</p>
<p>The 12 Hours of Sebring gets underway today with free practice. Qualifying will take place tomorrow from 16:25 to 17:40 CET, while the race will start on Saturday at 15:10 CET and will be <b>broadcast live on IMSA.tv</b> and via <b>live streaming on YouTube @imsaofficial</b>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Riccardo Agostini</b> will return to the <b>European Le Mans Series</b> this season, embarking on his second consecutive campaign with <b>Richard Mille AF Corse</b>.</p>
<p>The Italian driver will once again compete in the LMGT3 class at the wheel of the <b>Ferrari 296 GT3</b>, sharing driving duties with Brazilian racer <b>Custodio Toledo</b> and French driver <b>Lilou Wadoux</b>.</p>
<p>It marks an important programme for Agostini following a strong 2025 season in which he consistently fought at the front, ultimately finishing second in the class standings and claiming two victories at Paul Ricard and Silverstone.</p>
<p>For 2026, the Italian driver will combine his European campaign with a confirmed programme in the American endurance championship IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. There he will race another Ferrari with Triarsi Competizione, with the next round taking place on 20–21 March at the iconic 12 Hours of Sebring.</p>
<p>In parallel, Agostini will make his second consecutive appearance at the legendary <b>24 Hours of Le Mans</b>, once again competing with the Ferrari 296 GT3 of Richard Mille AF Corse alongside Toledo and Wadoux.</p>
<p>The trio already tackled the gruelling Sarthe classic together in 2025, completing a particularly demanding race that featured an impressive recovery through the field. With a dual programme between Europe and the United States and a return to the most prestigious endurance race in the world, 2026 is shaping up to be a season of truly international scope for Agostini, who will aim to build on last year’s strong performances and once again fight at the front of the European Le Mans Series.</p>
<p>The ELMS season will get underway on 12 April with the opening round in <b>Barcelona</b>, followed by <b>Le Castellet</b> (3 May), <b>Imola</b> (5 July), <b>Spa-Francorchamps</b> (23 August), <b>Silverstone</b> (13 September) and <b>Portimão</b> (10 October).</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From the 24 Hours of Daytona (where he kicked off the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season with an eighth-place finish and his first GTD Pro class points) to the United Arab Emirates. This weekend, <b>Riccardo Agostini</b> takes on an additional commitment in <b>Abu Dhabi</b>, competing in the final round of the <b>2025–2026 Asian Le Mans Series</b>.</p>
<p>The Italian driver from Padua will compete with the <b>Vista AF Corse</b> <b>Ferrari 296 GT3</b>, sharing driving duties with fellow Italian <b>Francesco Castellacci</b> and Brazilian <b>Custodio Toledo</b>, with whom he secured two victories last year (Paul Ricard and Silverstone) and second place in the LMGT3 class of the European Le Mans Series.</p>
<p>Called up at the last minute to race in this final round of the Asian series, Agostini therefore continues his all-round racing program under Ferrari colors. A program that in 2026 is mainly focused on the United States, where he will take part in all rounds of the American championship in the top class reserved for Gran Turismo cars.</p>
<p>The weekend schedule will begin with two free practice sessions on Friday. Qualifying (a single 15-minute session) will take place on Saturday at 7:10 am CET. The first of the two four-hour races will start at 12:00 pm, while race two is scheduled for Sunday at 1:30 pm CET. With a grid of over 45 cars, including those from the LMP2 and LMP3 classes, and a very high competitive level, both races will be <b>broadcast live via streaming</b> on the YouTube channel <b>@AsianLeMansSeries</b>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the third consecutive year, <b>Riccardo Agostini</b> successfully completed the <b>24 Hours of Daytona</b>, whose 64th edition kicked off last weekend the <b>IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship</b> season.</p>
<p>The Italian driver, who in 2026 will contest all the Endurance rounds of the American series with the <b>Ferrari 296 GT3 EVO</b> fielded by <b>Triarsi Competizione</b> and shared with <b>James Calado</b> and <b>Miguel Molina</b> &#8211; joined in Florida by <b>Alessio Rovera</b> &#8211; finished the great classic at the famous tri-oval in eighth place in the <b>GTD Pro</b> class.</p>
<p>It was certainly not an easy race, first and foremost due to a Balance of Performance that was not particularly favorable, but also because of a couple of unforeseen incidents, including a small fire during one of the pit stops and a contact involving one of his teammates.</p>
<p>Despite this, the American team&#8217;s crew, which started from the second row, proved to be the best among those competing in the category with Ferrari colors, also securing the first valuable points for the championship standings.</p>
<p>The next commitment will come in just under two months, with the <b>12 Hours of Sebring</b> scheduled for the weekend of <b>March 21</b>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Triarsi Comeptizione Ferrari 296 GT3 EVO</b> shared by <b>Riccardo Agostini</b>, <b>James Calado</b>, <b>Miguel Molina</b> and <b>Alessio Rovera</b>, will start from the third row in the <b>GTD Pro</b> class at this weekend&#8217;s <b>24 Hours of Daytona</b>, held on the 5.7-kilometre Florida tri-oval.</p>
<p>It was the fourth driver, Alessio Rovera, who set the fifth-fastest time in class during yesterday’s qualifying session, clocking a 1:45.506 lap. His effort placed him just a few tenths off pole position and only 81 thousandths of a second from third place, making him the fastest overall among the Ferrari crews in the Gran Turismo category. A third-row starting position that certainly bodes well, despite a not particularly favourable Balance of Performance.</p>
<p>Together with Calado and Molina, Agostini will contest the entire <b>IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship</b> this season, with the 24 Hours of Daytona marking the opening round. This iconic endurance classic will be the Italian driver&#8217;s third consecutive appearance, following his debut in 2024, when he achieved a strong fourth place in the GTD class with Triarsi Competizione.</p>
<p>The 64th edition of the historic American endurance race will get underway tomorrow (Saturday, January 24) at 7:40 pm CET. The full race will be broadcast live via streaming on <b>www.imsa.com/tvlive</b>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 2026 season gets underway this weekend for <b>Riccardo Agostini</b>, who returns to the track for the <b>Roar Before the Rolex 24</b>, the traditional three-day test event held one week prior to the <b>24 Hours of Daytona</b>.</p>
<p>The Italian driver is set to take on this commitment at the wheel of the <b>Triarsi Competizione Ferrari 296 GT3</b>, the same team with which he will contest the entire American <b>IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship</b> in the top <b>GTD Pro</b> class.</p>
<p>Agostini will share driving duties with <b>James Calado</b> and <b>Miguel Molina</b>, both winners of the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Ferrari’s Maranello-built Hypercar (in 2023 and 2024 respectively). Joining Agostini, Calado and Molina at Daytona from the Roar onward will be fourth driver <b>Alessio Rovera</b>, alongside whom the Padua-born racer claimed the Italian title in the 2019 Italian GT Championship.</p>
<p>Agostini has already competed in the 24 Hours of Daytona with the Triarsi Competizione Ferrari 296 GT3 in 2024, finishing fourth in the GTD class, as well as last year with AF Corse, where he concluded the race in seventh place in the same category.</p>
<p>On the Florida tri-oval, on-track action will begin on Friday with the first two sessions scheduled from 5:00 to 6:15 a.m. and from 10:00 a.m. to noon (CET time). Two further sessions will take place on both Saturday and Sunday.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Riccardo Agostini</b> has already finalized his program for 2026 season. The Italian driver, this year LMGT3 runner-up in the European Le Mans Series and protagonist in several major American classic races, will contest the full <b>Endurance Cup</b> of the <b>IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship</b> driving a <b>Ferrari 296 GT3</b> fielded by <b>Triarsi Competizione</b>, the same team with which he competed in the 2025 Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta and in the Laguna Seca round.</p>
<p>Agostini will take on the American series with a top-tier driver line-up in the premier <b>GTD Pro</b> class, sharing the car with reigning FIA WEC champion and 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans winner <b>James Calado</b>, and <b>Miguel Molina</b>, winner of the same race in 2024. The campaign will kick off on January 24–25 with the <b>24 Hours of Daytona</b>, where <b>Alessio Rovera</b> will also join the crew (Agostini and Rovera clinched the Italian GT Championship title together in 2019).</p>
<p>For Agostini, this will be his third consecutive participation in the Florida endurance classic. He previously competed in the event with the Ferrari 296 GT3 in 2024 for Triarsi Competizione, narrowly missing the GTD podium by finishing fourth, and again earlier this year with AF Corse, taking seventh place in class.</p>
<p>As mentioned, Agostini’s IMSA program will also extend to the other four major Endurance Cup rounds: the <b>12 Hours of Sebring</b> (March 21), <b>6 Hours of Watkins Glen</b> (June 28), <b>Indianapolis’ Battle on the Bricks</b> (September 20), and <b>Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta</b> (October 3).</p>
<p>All of this will once again be under the banner of the <b>Ferrari 296 GT3</b>, the car Agostini debuted &#8211; and took to its first victory- in the International GT Open in 2023, and with which he has competed across various championships over the past two seasons.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No title for <b>Riccardo Agostini</b>, who missed out on the crown at <b>Portimão</b> but still secured the runner-up spot in the <b>LMGT3 class</b> of the <b>European Le Mans Series</b>.</p>
<p>The final round of the 2025 calendar did not reward the Italian driver and his teammates <b>Custodio Toledo</b> and <b>Lilou Wadoux</b> with the result they unquestionably deserved.</p>
<p>A heavily unfavorable BoP for their <b>Ferrari 296 GT3</b>, combined with the 30 kg of success ballast imposed after their victory at the previous Silverstone round, made it impossible to defend the 12-point lead with which they arrived at the Algarve circuit, forcing the <b>Richard Mille AF Corse</b> crew into a strategy that ultimately did not deliver, ending in a disappointing eighth place.</p>
<p>Thus falls the curtain on a season with a somewhat bitter finale — yet still extremely positive for Agostini. A campaign that began with ninth place in Barcelona, after a difficult weekend that Agostini, Toledo and Wadoux were able to redeem at the following Paul Ricard round by taking their first win. An eighth place followed at Imola, then a solid fifth at Spa, and the Silverstone victory that even propelled the Richard Mille AF Corse trio into the championship lead — hopes that unfortunately faded in the Portuguese finale.</p>
<p>It was nevertheless a season in which Agostini consistently played a leading role, also contesting — always with Ferrari colours — iconic endurance races such as the 24 Hours of Daytona, where he finished seventh, making his debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and taking part in the 24 Hours of Spa. A 360-degree programme for Agostini, who at the start of the year also raced in the Asian Le Mans Series, complemented by appearances in the American IMSA championship, with outings at Laguna Seca and Indianapolis.</p>
