Biography
Eugenio Pisani's career is a testament to the tough, grinding reality of life in motorsport's lower tiers. From his start in karting in Ravenna, he has navigated the expensive and hyper-competitive ladder of European single-seater racing. Pisani cut his teeth in Formula Abarth and the Italian F3 Championship, series known for producing tough, race-craft-savvy drivers. His path led him to the GP3 Series in 2015, a critical feeder category just below Formula One, where he faced off against drivers backed by the world's top racing academies. While victories and championships have been elusive, Pisani embodies the spirit of the privateer—a driver whose seat time and progress are earned through relentless effort and passion. His continued presence in the paddock, most recently in GT and endurance racing circles, speaks to a durable love for the sport and the skill required to keep competing at a professional level.

The first digital natives. Grew up with the internet, came of age during 9/11 and the 2008 crash. Highly educated, deeply indebted, slower to marry and buy houses. Redefined work, identity, and what it means to be an adult.
Eugenio was born in 1991, placing them squarely in the Millennials. The events that shaped this generation — the internet revolution, 9/11, and the 2008 financial crisis — shaped the world they entered and the choices available to them.
