Matteo Cairoli (born 1 June 1996) is an Italian professional racing driver currently competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship with Iron Lynx. Previously, he was a Lamborghini factory driver participating in the IMSA SportsCar Championship. Cairoli secured the championship title in the 2014 Porsche Carrera Cup Italia.

Early single-seater career

Cairoli commenced his journey in single-seater racing in 2012 by joining the Italian Formula Renault Championship, where he completed four races and achieved one podium, finishing 13th overall. The following year, he raced in the German Formula Three Championship before moving to GSK Grand Prix for the 2014 Formula Renault 2.0 Alps Series. However, his participation with this team was limited to just the Imola round before his departure.

Transition to sports car racing

In 2014, Cairoli shifted focus to sports car competitions, capturing the Porsche Carrera Cup Italia championship while driving for Antonelli Motorsport. He dominated with six victories across fourteen events, concluding the season with a 70-point lead. This accomplishment awarded him both the Porsche International Cup Scholarship and Porsche Junior status for 2015, which included drives in the Porsche Supercup and Porsche Carrera Cup Germany campaigns with Project 1 Motorsport. After finishing as runner-up in the 2016 Porsche Supercup, he earned promotion to Porsche's "Young Professional" program.

In 2017, Cairoli joined Dempsey-Proton Racing competing in the LMGTE Am category of the FIA World Endurance Championship. That year marked his first appearance at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans, where he finished sixth in class. His team secured second place overall in LMGTE Am for the season, achieving two victories at Nürburgring and Mexico City. Additionally, he participated in the European Le Mans Series, attaining a class victory at Portimão and finishing third in the standings. Prior to the 2019–20 season, Cairoli rejoined Team Project 1.

In February 2020, he signed on with Dinamic Motorsport to compete in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup. During 2021, Cairoli was part of Manthey Racing's squad that triumphed overall at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. He concluded his tenure with Porsche’s factory lineup at the close of 2023.

For the 2024 season, Cairoli became a member of Lamborghini’s factory roster for their IMSA SportsCar Championship program. He competed in both GTD driving a Lamborghini Huracán and GTP piloting a Lamborghini SC63, also taking part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In January 2025, he departed from Lamborghini and signed with Iron Lynx to race in the 2025 World Endurance Championship.
