William "Will" Wangensteen Ponissi (Milan, Italy 10/05/1983) is a driver, manager, owner and head of the GPVWC.

Ponissi first joined the GPVWC in 2002 and took control of the league, then named F1VWC, by the end of 2003. By the start of 2008, Ponissi brought back the original moniker, GPVWC, ratified by the league's originator, Dan Lawrence when Dan gave his blessing for a revival of the GPVWC brand name.

William introduced his team, E.I.R.E - an acronym which is a play on words relating to his Irish roots - in May of 2002 at the Monaco Grand Prix, driving for the team himself. In 2008 the team was rebranded and became known as Nordsjoen Racing.

Aside from admin and managerial responsibilities Ponissi currently drives for Constant Racing in the Superleague. His most successful season was in 2008 with Nordsjoen. The Italian scored seven podiums that year, including a well earned victory at Monza, where he edged past Jeroen Jansen on the last lap and won by less than a tenth of a second.
