Jeff Segal
After becoming GRAND-AM’s youngest Champion by securing the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge GS class Drivers Championship in 2007, Jeff Segal set his sights on success in the Rolex Series GT class from 2008 onwards. Paired with co-driver Emil Assentato, the duo quickly found victory lane at the famed Six Hours of The Glen, followed by regular podium appearances and race wins, culminating with the Drivers, Teams, and Manufacturers Championships in the GT class in 2010. Pole position at the Rolex 24 at Daytona further bolstered the accomplishments of 2010, which also saw Jeff win the Gianfranco Martelli memorial award for professionalism and dedication presented by Pirelli. Jeff has long-standing ties to Ferrari as the youngest winner in the Ferrari Challenge Series at age seventeen and an instructor at the Ferrari Driving Experience in Mont-Tremblant, Québec.
