Vipera Corse SpA, commonly known as Viper, is an Italian racing team that currently competes in the 2024 Virtual Porsche Cup.
History
Origins
Vipera Corse was founded by Piercarlo Caliri, who owned Formula Virtual team Scuderia Meteor from late 2019 until 2022.
The team was formed after the Caliri family were effectively forced out of FV after mounting pressure from fans, as well as within the sport itself, following three tumultuous years which ultimately led to the team being sold to Lamborghini. Once the journey in FV was over for the Caliris, Vipera Corse was established in a bid to rebuild their reputation as reputable team owners.
The team is based at one of the old buildings in Ancona that was in use during the days of Scuderia Meteor, in the same complex as the current Lamborghini factory.
Virtual Porsche Cup
Vipera Corse entered the Virtual Porsche Cup in the series' inaugural season, the 2024 Virtual Porsche Cup, with Lamborghini reserve driver Giani Ledesma and Luca Lombardi driving for the team. Lombardi had been signed as a young driver for Scuderia Meteor, who then became Lamborghini for 2023 and the Italian driver - himself being from Ancona - maintained close ties with the Caliri family.
