Statement from IMSA President John Doonan on Passing of Cedric Sbirrazzuoli

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – “All of us in the IMSA family are mourning the loss of Cedric Sbirrazzuoli. Cedric was a talented driver and valued member of the IMSA paddock for the better part of a decade, beginning as a competitor in Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America and progressing into the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. His greatest IMSA achievement came at Motul Petit Le Mans in 2024 when he and his teammates celebrated a well-deserved and hard-earned GTD race victory, one of three podium results he earned in his 19 WeatherTech Championship appearances. We extend heartfelt sympathies to Cedric’s family, teammates and his many friends here in the IMSA paddock and throughout the world of sports car endurance racing. He will be sorely missed.”
