Lorenzo Casè (born 18 April 1974) is an Italian racing driver who last competed for AF Corse in the Italian GT Championship.

Career

Casè began his racing career in 1999, competing in the Alfa GTV Cup 3000 Italian Championship.[4] After three seasons in entry-level one-make series, Casè made his Italian GT debut in 2003, driving for Mastercar in the N-GT class aboard their Ferrari 360.[5] Joining JMB Racing for the following year, Casè won at Imola and Magione to kick off the season,[6][7] before winning both Misano races and race one at Vallelunga to secure third in points.[8][9]

Continuing with JMB for 2005, Casè scored a lone win at the Hungaroring and a fifth-place points finish in GT1,[10] before switching to the FIA GT3 European Championship with Maserati-fielding AF Corse.[11] Returning to the Italian GT Championship for 2007, Casè remained with AF Corse, albeit under their Advanced Engineering banner, taking wins at Adria and Magione to secure the GT2 title aboard the team's Ferrari F430, which he shared with Stefano Livio.[12] After a part-time season with them in the following year's International GT Open season,[13] Casè primarily raced in Ferrari Challenge in 2009,[14] finishing fifth in the Italian series and winning the World Finals at the end of the year.[15] During 2009, Casè also raced with AF Corse on a part-time basis in the GT4 European Cup,[16] scoring a pair of podiums between the Spa and Zolder rounds.[17]

The following year, Casè made a one-off appearance in the LMP2 class of the Le Mans Series for Racing Box,[18] and the 6 Hours of Vallelunga for Maserati Corse.[19] Returning to AF Corse for 2011, Casè began the year by finishing second overall at the Dubai 24 Hour,[20] a feat he repeated at the 6 Hours of Vallelunga later that year.[21] During 2011, Casè also raced in Maserati Trophy Europe on a part-time basis.[22] Returning to Ferrari Challenge Europe for 2012, Casè finished ninth in the Trofeo Pirelli with a win at Vallelunga.[23] In parallel, Casé also raced part-time in the International GTSprint Series for Scuderia Baldini,[24] scoring GTSCup class wins at Imola, Mugello and Vallelunga to take fourth in the class standings.[25]

Casè driving his Ferrari 458 Italia GT2 at night during the 2013 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Reuniting with AF Corse for 2013, Casè began the year by finishing second at the Dubai 24 Hour,[26] before racing with them in the GTC class of the European Le Mans Series, taking four podiums and securing runner-up honours in class along with Stefano Gai and Andrea Rizzoli.[27][28] During 2013, Casè also made his debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, finished second in LMGTE Am with Darryl O'Young and Piergiuseppe Perazzini,[29] in addition to placing third at the 6 Hours of Vallelunga and making one-off appearances in Ferrari Challenge and the International GTSprint Series.[30][31] Continuing with Ferrari machinery for 2014, Casè reunited with Scuderia Baldini to race in the Italian GT Championship,[32] taking a lone win at Imola and six other podiums to secure the GT3 title with Raffaele Giammaria.[33] During 2014, Casè also raced in the first two rounds of the United SportsCar Championship for Scuderia Corsa in GTD,[34] as well as competing for AF Corse in select races of the FIA World Endurance Championship and European Le Mans Series in LMGTE, including a return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans.[35][36]

Staying with Scuderia Baldini to defend his Italian GT title the following year, Casè won at Vallelunga and scored four other podiums to end the year sixth in the GT3 standings.[37] In 2016, Casè switched to Lamborghini-fielding Antonelli Motorsport for a one-off appearance in the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup and the first two events in the SuperGTCup class of the Italian GT Championship.[38] Later that year, Casè reunited with Scuderia Baldini to race in the final two rounds of the season in the GT3 class, finishing on the podium in all four races and scoring a win at Mugello.[39]

In 2017, Casè joined AF Corse–run Spirit of Race to compete in the Silver Cup of the Blancpain GT Series Sprint Cup,[40] taking four podiums to secure a third-place points finish in class with Phil Quaife.[41] Following that, Casè competed in the 2019 and 2021 editions of the Italian GT Championship Sprint Cup for Easy Race and AF Corse, scoring a pair of podiums in each season to take eighth and sixth in the GT3 and GT3 Am standings respectively.[42][43] Three years later, Casè returned to AF Corse to once again contest the Italian GT Championship Sprint Cup, clinching the GT Cup Division 1 Am title after taking three wins and two other podiums.[44]
