Career
VERS (2015-2016)
Silvestri began his career when he replaced fellow Italian Allen Ledesma at Sportiva Corse for the final 3 rounds of the 2015 VERS championship. Silvestri showed immediate promise with a strong fourth on his debut, before seventh followed in the second race. It got better at the next round in the Netherlands, where he took his first victory on only his third start. He kept up his 100% points record with 9th in the second race. He had a two dream races at the final round at his home race. He took pole, won and had the fastest lap for the first race, before taking second in the second race. He finished the season 9th, having only completed 3 rounds.
Silvestri stayed at Sportiva Corse for 2016, but had a disappointing season after last year's highs. He had a double retirement in the first round at Britain. He took two podiums over the next three races, but retired from the other one. He scored another podium at Italy and had six other points finishes. However, he had four retirements. Despite competing in five rounds more than 2015, Silvestri scored less than five points more, and only finished one place higher. His only consolation was that he beat his teammate.
VWRS (2017, 2022)
Nevertheless Silvestri moved to the VWRS. He kept with Sportiva Corse. He retired from the first race, and no points came in the second. He took his first points in race one of round two with 9th, but by the half way stage he had only scored twice more. He had a better second half, but he only scored five times. His best finish was fifth, until he scored his first podium with third at the final race. He scored a pitiful 48 points, almost five times less than his teammate. He was 18th in the championship, a personal low. He was dropped from the team and moved to FV2.
Five years after leaving VWRS, Silvestri returned in 2022 with Wagner Racing.
FV2 (2018)
Silvestri was set to drive for American Engineering, but a late change saw him move to O'Connell Racing.
