Career
Ruberti began his career with karting in his native Italy, before moving on to national-level formula series. In 2008, Ruberti competed in his first 24 Hours of Le Mans, driving for BMS Scuderia Italia in the GT2 class.[1] While testing at the Hockenheimring in 2016, Ruberti suffered a fractured lumbar vertebrae in an accident and missed the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans, where he was due to drive for Larbre Compétition.[2] Ruberti's first race back from his injury was a second place finish in class at the 2016 6 Hours of Nürburgring.[3] In 2017, Ruberti founded his own racing team in conjunction with Manfredi Ravetto, known as Scuderia Ravetto & Ruberti.[4]
Prior to the 2019 6 Hours of Spa, Ruberti joined the ByKolles LMP1 team for the final two races of the World Endurance Championship season.[5] In 2019, Ruberti also competed in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America for the first team, securing his first victory at VIR in August.[6]
