Among ESCORS race fans and fellow competitors, Giorgio Ponti is best known as the 'Pizzaman'. The Padova, Italy native is well recognized for his rather quiet ongoings on track, but a rather spectacular life off the racing circuits.
Ponti counts as one of the very veterans of all ESCORS racing circuits, as the 32 year old competed in every year since ESCORS' inaugural season in 2000.
After spending some years in BallRacing Cup and ESCORS Alienware Series competition, that included a 2003 runner-up finish in EAS points and a qualification for the 2004 Chase for the BallRacing Cup, Ponti had moved down to run the Gamefaction Truck Series full-time in 2005.
In an exciting year and points battle with Judson Santiago, Ponti came up short again, settling for runner-up honors for the Gamefaction Truck Series championship.
