Luigi Ferrara (born 12 May 1982) is an Italian racing driver from Bari.

Career[edit]

He began his career in feeder formula series such as the Formula Renault 2.0 Italia, Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, Italian Formula Three and International Formula Master. He was the champion of the 2005 Italian Formula Three Championship with team Corbetta Competizioni.

Ferrara switched to sports car in 2008, and won the Porsche Carrera Cup Italy. In 2009 he raced part-time at the Porsche Supercup.

In 2010, Ferrara joined the Superstars Series with the CAAL team. Driving a Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG, he collected four wins and 10 podiums in 20 races, placing second in the International Series and third in the Italian Championship.

At the 2011 Superstars Series, Ferrara had one win and eight podiums in 18 races. He again placed second in the International Series and third in the Italian Championship.

Ferrara only competed in two rounds of the 2012 season: Spa-Francorchamps with CAAL and Pergusa with Roma, in both cases with a Mercedes-Benz. He finished second and fourth out of four races, and placed 16th in the International Series.

He returned full-time to the Superstars Series for the 2013, remaining in Roma.
