Davide Rigon (born on 26 August 1986) is a professional racing driver from Italy, actively participating in the FIA World Endurance Championship and select GT events representing AF Corse. Additionally, he holds the position of test driver for the Scuderia Ferrari Formula One team.

Career

Rigon, originally from Thiene, began his motorsport journey in 2003 within the Formula BMW ADAC series. He progressed through the ranks by competing in the Italian Formula Renault Championship and later the Italian Formula Three Championship. In 2005, he secured the title in Formula Azzurra, followed by a second-place finish in Italian Formula Three the next year.

In 2007, Rigon emerged as the champion of the Euroseries 3000, achieving three victories and representing Italy during the 2007–08 A1 Grand Prix season. The following year, his racing activities included competing in the GT2 division of the FIA GT Championship with BMS Scuderia Italia, participating in International Formula Master, and leading Beijing Guoan to claim the first-ever championship of the 2008 Superleague Formula season, securing three wins.

During the off-season, Rigon joined Trident Racing for the fourth round of the 2008–09 GP2 Asia Series season held in Qatar. He earned points with finishes of seventh and third, concluding 17th overall. Continuing with Trident into the 2009 GP2 Series season, he outperformed teammate Ricardo Teixeira but was replaced after four rounds by Rodolfo González. Returning for the rounds in Hungary, he completed the remainder of that season. In 2010, Rigon reclaimed the Superleague Formula championship title driving for R.S.C. Anderlecht.

The 2011 season saw Rigon return to GP2 with Coloni, but a crash at Istanbul Park during the opening round resulted in multiple fractures, restricting him to 29th place in the championship standings. Subsequently, he was succeeded by drivers Kevin Ceccon and later Luca Filippi.

Transitioning to sports car racing in 2012, Rigon joined Kessel Racing to compete in the Blancpain Endurance Series. In 2013, alongside teammates Daniel Zampieri and César Ramos, he achieved victory at Monza and secured fourth place overall in the Pro Cup. That same year, he took part in four rounds of the FIA World Endurance Championship with 8 Star Motorsports piloting a Ferrari 458 Italia, earning one win and two runner-up finishes that contributed to winning the GTE-Am class championship for his team. Furthermore, partnering with Andrea Montermini for Scuderia Villorba Ferrari, he won two out of four races entered in the International GT Open.

In 2014, Rigon committed to a full season campaign in the GTE-Pro category of the FIA World Endurance Championship, driving a Ferrari F458 Italia under the banner of AF Corse.
