Angelo Barretto
Angelo Barretto (born September 29, 1969) is a Filipino race car driver.
He is best known for his performance in his European debut in 1999, participating in the Group N class of the European Sportscar Endurance Championships. He and teammate Matthew Marsh drove a BMW M3 and the pair made a nearly-missed bid for the Rookie Championship. Their most notable win was at Spa-Francorchamps of Belgium, one of the most acknowledged tracks in the world. Later that year in the same series, Barretto made a startling solo-win at Misano in Italy for which BMW affirmed his consistent good performance at unfamiliar racetracks by awarding him the Sport Pokal trophy.
Angelo has participated in various other series since, including the Le Mans Classic held at the Circuit de la Sarthe of which his team won the Inaugural event, various FIA GT events, the Guia Race of the Macau Grand Prix, and the ALMS series in America.
