After a disappointing single-seater career, he went on to race in sports car racing. In 2003, he was signed byLister Racing to compete in theFIA GT Championship. He picked up three podiums for the team along with Swiss co-driverJean-Denis Délétraz. He was signed byAston Martin Racing in 2006 who wanted to race their new GT1-specDBR9. He raced two rounds of theAmerican Le Mans Series, scoring in one of those events, being round five. He then went on to compete at the24 Hours of Le Mans and finished second in the GT1 class with teammatesTomáš Enge andDarren Turner. He reunited with his 2003 FIA GT teammate Jean-Denis Délétraz for the2006 season. They raced forPhoenix Racing who ran a DBR9. Piccini finished third in the championship, taking a win at the final round of the season.

2007 was a slightly quieter year for Piccini, he did not race at Le Mans or in ALMS but did contest theFIA GT, this time forScuderia Playteam who ran aMaserati MC12 GT1. His teammate was reigning FIA GT co-championAndrea Bertolini. The pair finished fifth place with only one win during the season. In 2008, Piccini raced six of the ten rounds of theFIA GT Championship, four races in the GT1 class for RBlmmo Racing and two in the GT2 class forCR Scuderia Racing. He did not earn a point for RBlmmo Racing but finished in good points scoring places for CR Scuderia, finishing fourth at theSpa 24 Hours and second place in round eight at Nogaro. He was called upon again by Aston Martin Racing to compete at the years24 Hours of Le Mans. He managed to finish the #007 car fourth place in class with veteran teammatesHeinz-Harald Frentzen andKarl Wendlinger.

He moved on from FIA GT and in 2009, he raced for Italian teamRacing Box in theLe Mans Series, who ran a LMP2-specLola B08/80-Judd. He was joined by fellow Italian compatriots and former FIA GT championsMatteo Bobbi andThomas Biagi for the season. They picked up a class win in the opening round at Catalunya but the success was short-lived. Piccini finished fifth in the standings. Racing Box then entered the24 Hours of Le Mans with the same car but unfortunately retired after 203 laps. 2010 saw Piccini contest only the first two rounds of theLe Mans Series season for Racing Box, before returning to GT racing in the form of theFIA GT1 World Championship. He was reunited with Phoenix Racing who he raced with in FIA GT in 2006, but raced aChevrolet Corvette C6.R rather than the DBR9. He contested three of the ten rounds, earning an impressive podium finish at the opening round in Abu Dhabi alongside Mike Hezemans. He is now back behind the wheel of an Aston DBR9 forHexis AMR for the2011 FIA GT1 World Championship season.^[1]
