Joe Consiglio (born 19 April 1985 in Liverpool, UK) is a Maltese sim-racing driver currently signed to Nordsjoen Racing. He has competed in the GPVWC since 2002 and was 2009 Superleague World Champion. Joe is also the current GPVWC Masters Series Champion (Touring Cars). Aside from driving duties, Consiglio co-owns Constant Racing with friend Mark Stanton.

Early years

Consiglio began his sim-racing journey at the age of 8 years old. The pioneering Microprose Formula 1 Grand Prix had just been released and being a massive F1 fan Joe could hardly wait to get his hands on a copy. In those early days Joe would spend hours and hours practising and relentlessly developing his skills. Indeed, Consiglio attributes his recent success to the grounding he had in such an excellent simulator from a young age.

By the age of 12 Consiglio was racing on Grand Prix 2 and further developing as a driver. At this stage it was difficult to gauge his ability as the internet was not yet widespread and local competition from his friends was in short supply. It was around the age of 14 Consiglio participated in his first offline race although little is known about the specifics of the outcome.

At the age of 15 Consiglio purchased Grand Prix 3 and switched from joystick to keys in the process. After mastering the art of manually changing gears and not using traction control Joe began to enter hotlap competitions against the best sim drivers in the world. It was here Consiglio began to achieve some success, finally he felt ready to join the big leagues.

GPVWC Superleague

Stealth GP

2002

Consiglio’s GPVWC career began in early 2002 at the still relatively tender age of 16. With the league using Grand Prix 3, the season was already up to round 4 by the time Joe registered in early April.

Consiglio driving for Stealth GP in 2002.

However almost instantly Consiglio's speed caught the eye of team manager Luc Lissens (MaMa Racing) in a private test session prior to the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola. He was quickly signed as first driver but in a bizarre turn of events the team folded only days before the event. Stealth GP stepped in, retaining all MaMa’s assets, including the promising 16 year old driver.

On his début Consiglio hauled the underpowered Stealth Honda all the way up to P2 on the grid. The race itself featured heavy rain but Joe brought the car home in a creditable 4th after completing his first 100% distance Grand Prix.

Overall Consiglio had a very solid début year in GPVWC. The Maltese driver was clearly punching above his weight all season, scoring pole positions in France and Europe as well as picking up some well earned podiums in Canada and Germany. In fact Consiglio was favourite to win the European Grand Prix after posting a brilliant pole lap in qualifying. However the Honda engine in his Stealth let him down on the formation lap and Consiglio was unable to start the race, a bitter blow for the teenager.

Despite missing seven events in 2002 Consiglio finished the championship in 7th place. By mid-season he was already being dubbed a 'star of the future' and was expected to challenge for the title in following seasons if he could get his hands on better machinery.

2003

Consiglio had a short but successful season in 2003. The Maltese ace took his first ever victory at the Italian Grand Prix in the BMW powered Stealth GP.
