Career
Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada
2015
In 2015, Fidani competed in the Gold class of the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada driving for Pfaff Motorsports. He finished on the podium in eight out of the ten races to take the Gold class title.
2017
Fidani would return to the series for a third year, once again in the Gold class with Pfaff Motorsports. He would finish second in the championship with four podiums in four races.
Canadian Touring Car Championship
2020 Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Fidani and his team AWA would switch away from the 2020 Michelin Pilot Challenge to compete in the 2020 Canadian Touring Car Championship. Fidani had a dominant season, claiming pole in all six races and then winning all six races in the championship.
Michelin Pilot Challenge
2019 In 2019, Fidani would move to the Michelin Pilot Challenge to drive for the No. 13 AWA Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport alongside Scott Hargrove. At the sixth round in Lime Rock Park, Hargrove was replaced with Chris Green and AWA switched to a McLaren 570S GT4. Fidani scored a best finish of fifth at the final race in Road Atlanta with Green.
2020 Fidani returned to the championship in 2020, driving the No. 13 AWA McLaren 570S GT4. Alongside him was veteran Kuno Wittmer. Fidani would qualify on pole at the opening race at Daytona, but would ultimately come home in 26th. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, AWA would have to shut down operations indefinitely. There were hopes of competing later in the year, however, that never came into fruition.
2021 Following his championship in the 2020 Canadian Touring Car Championship, Fidani returned to the Michelin Pilot Challenge in 2021 with AWA. He joined Kuno Wittmer once again to drive the No. 13 AWA McLaren 570S GT4. In the season opener at Daytona, Fidani qualified on pole and would go on to win his first race in the series. Fidani had to miss the third race at Mid-Ohio as he awaited the arrival of his newborn son.
IMSA SportsCar Championship
2022 In 2022, Fidani and AWA moved up to the top level of the North American Sports Car racing ladder to compete in the 2022 IMSA SportsCar Championship. He would compete in the LMP3 class driving the No. 13 AWA Duqueine M30 - D-08 alongside Matt Bell, Lars Kern, and Kuno Wittmer. Fidani's best result was a second place at Road America. He finished sixth in the LMP3 driver's championship.
2023 Fidani returned with AWA for the 2023 IMSA SportsCar Championship, once again in the LMP3 class. He would drive the No. 13 AWA Duqueine M30 - D-08 alongside Matt Bell, Lars Kern, and Moritz Kranz. Fidani would have a successful season with three podiums to finish third in the LMP3 driver's championship.
2024
Fidani would return for a third season to compete in the 2024 IMSA SportsCar Championship driving for AWA. Since LMP3 would no longer be present in the championship going forward, AWA switched to the GTD class to field two Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs. Fidani would drive the No. 13 alongside Matt Bell, Lars Kern, and Alex Lynn. Fidani won the Bob Akin award that season, given to the highest-finishing FIA Bronze-rated driver in the GTD championship, earning him an invite to the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans.
