Super GT
Caldarelli claimed his inaugural victory in the Super GT series during the 2014 season, competing for Lexus Team KeePer TOM'S alongside teammate Daisuke Itō. The duo triumphed at the season opener held at Okayama and ultimately secured second place in the GT500-class championship, finishing behind champions Tsugio Matsuda and Ronnie Quintarelli.
Lamborghini factory driver
Prior to the start of the 2017 Blancpain GT Series season, Caldarelli was appointed as a factory driver for Lamborghini Squadra Corse. He competed in the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup with the GRT Grasser Racing Team, partnering with Christian Engelhart and Mirko Bortolotti. This trio captured the championship title that year. In 2019, Caldarelli accomplished a remarkable feat by winning all three major titles within the GT World Challenge Europe framework: the Endurance Cup, Sprint Cup, and the overall combined championship.
In 2021, Caldarelli expanded his racing activities to North America by joining K-Pax Racing in the GT World Challenge America. Teaming up with Jordan Pepper, he achieved nine victories out of thirteen races and clinched the championship with two events remaining. He returned in 2022 to successfully defend his championship crown. For the 2023 season, Caldarelli competed once more in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup representing Iron Lynx, alongside Bortolotti and Pepper.
In July 2022, it was announced that Caldarelli would be among the inaugural drivers for Lamborghini’s forthcoming LMDh program scheduled to debut in 2024.
