The life of Alessandra

Born in Bertinoro on April 10th 1988, Alessandra Neri still lives in Bertinoro as she attends the third year of Design faculty of the San Marino University. In her childhood she practiced various sports. Among these we remember volleyball and swimming (in particular diving), but her heart already was beating for motors and races. When she was 9 years old she began racing with karts. It was the biginning of a brilliant career. At the age of 16 she moved to car racing, attending with good performances the "Scuola Federale Csai" and the "Henry Morrogh racing school".

In 2007 she was chosen by Ferrari, starring in the "430 Scuderia" launch (video). Alessandra has much to become a successful personalità: she is an excellent driver, she has a great public image, on track she has no problem under pressure and she never denies contact with the public, for a picture or just for a quick chat.

Determinated to persue the professional driver career (and model in certain occasions), Alessandra has proved her talent even with GT cars. During 2008 she was part of the EGTS with a Ferrari 430 GT3, while in 2009 she drives a Porsche GT3 RSR of the "Antonelli Motorsport" team (Italian GT championship, GT Cup class).
