History
edit
Triarsi Competizione was founded by race car driver Onofrio Triarsi Jr.[2] Triarsi manages several Ferrari dealerships in Central Florida and Tampa Bay where the team operates.
GT World Challenge America
edit2021
editIn 2021, Triarsi Competizione would compete at the sixth round of the 2021 GT World Challenge America at Sebring. The team would field the No. 23 Ferrari 488 GT3 for Charlie Scardina and Onofrio Triarsi in the Am Cup.[3] The drivers would get pole position for race one and finish first in their class on debut. They would retire in the second race.
2022
editThe team returned for the 2022 GT World Challenge America season with two full-time entries.[4] They fielded the No. 13 Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2020 in the Pro/Am Cup for Ryan Dalziel and Justin Wetherill. They also entered the No. 23 Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2020 in the Am Cup for Charlie Scardina and Onofrio Triarsi. The No. 13 got its first and only win in class in race one at Virginia International Raceway and ended up fifth in the Pro/Am Cup. The No. 23 had a dominant season with eleven poles, eight fastest laps, twelve podiums, and ten wins. Since the No. 23 was the only full-time entry in the Am Cup, Triarsi Competizione won the Am Cup championship by default.
2023
editTriarsi Competizione returned for a third season in 2023 to field the No. 33 Ferrari 296 GT3 in the Pro/Am Cup for Ryan Dalziel, Justin Wetherill, and Onofrio Triarsi.[5][6] The team would have a moderately successful season finishing ninth in class with one pole and two podiums.
