Ettore Bassi takes up the challenge of 2022 Campionato Italiano Sport Prototipi, he will be on the track.

Born in Bari in 1970, Bassi is not new to the world of motorsport, in fact he begins to take his first steps in car racing, his old passion, in 2005. He then follows a karting training program based on training sessons and small regional races to gain experience and acquire data.

His main commitment on four wheels was concentrated in the hill climb Championships, where he made his debut in 2005 at the home race, the Fasano-Selva, but it is with the prototypes, from 2009 to today that a lot of satisfaction has come.

Despite not being a professional driver, but wearing the suit for a few Sundays, the actor did not miss out on important track experience: in 2010 he also participated in the entire Italian F. Renault 2000 Championship, obtaining good placings.

In recent times Ettore Bassi has joined the team of Eugenio Molinaro, Danny’s father, the current Campionato Italiano Sport Prototipi’s Champion, and will therefore be at the start this season with the same team that, fresh from an agreement with Wolf Racing Cars to represent the certified brand in Campionato Italiano Velocità Montagna, will also field him at the start of some hill climb races starting from the next Fasano Selva.

Giovanni Bellarosa (Team Principal Wolf Racing Cars): "having Ettore Bassi at the start is certainly good news for Campionato Italiano Sport Prototipi, it is easy to understand how an actor loved and known by the general public, able to perform well behind the wheel of a racing car, is wanted to turn on the spotlight where he gets involved.”
