[edit] Career history
Risatti began his junior racing career in karting in 1998. After a relatively short period of three seasons, he progressed into formula racing in the B-class of Formula Three Sudamericana, which is based in Brazil. He entered only three races in 2001, but was one of twelve Argentinians who competed at some point in that year's championship.[1] This was an unusually high number; the 2002 season featured only two Argentine drivers, including Risatti himself.[2] In his first full season, Risatti was placed fourth in the B-class standings.[3]
Risatti moved to Europe to compete in the Spanish Formula Three Championship in 2003, driving at various times for E.V. Racing and Elide Racing in ten of the thirteen races.[4][5] After making annual progress with eleventh, fifth and third places in the championship, Risatti secured the 2006 title with TEC Auto.
In February 2007, Risatti was announced as a GP2 Series driver with BCN Competicion,[6] but this position was later taken by Ho-Pin Tung.[7] He now competes in the World Series by Renault with GD (Great Dane) Racing.[8] Risatti had a second chance to make his GP2 series debut when Pastor Maldonado broke his collarbone during training.[9] Risatti competed with Trident Racing at Istanbul Park in Turkey and Monza in Italy. During this time, Luiz Razia has substituted for Risatti in the World Series by Renault. In 2008 he run in TC2000 for Chevrolet official team.
