Gunnar Jeannette brings the perfect combination of youth and experience to
the wheel of the Corsa Motorsports Ferrari in 2008.
After making his competitive debut in sports car racing in 1999, he has
split time in ALMS and Grand Am. In 2000 he charged onto the racing scene
by earning LMP2 wins at both Laguna Seca and Las Vegas, in addition to
becoming the youngest driver to ever finish the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Just one year later Jeannette added a podium finish to his resume at the historic 24 Hour race in the GT2 class, and in 2003 he took third in class and fifth overall in LMP1.
In 2005 Grand Am racing, he tabbed wins driving a Ford Mustang FR500C at Fontana and Mosport.
Jeannette also has considerable experience in development and was a factory driver for the LMP1 Panoz.
His ALMS resume includes 37 starts, a podium, 10 Top-5s and 29 Top-10 finishes.
When he’s not on the track, Jeannette enjoys sky diving, BASE jumping,
and skiing. Jeanette was also listed in PEOPLE Magazine’s 50 Hottest Bachelors
in 2005.
