Antonio Fuoco to Make ELMS Debut with AF Corse
Date: [Insert Date]
2024 Le Mans winner Antonio Fuoco is poised to make his European Le Mans Series (ELMS) debut this season, driving the AF Corse #83 ORECA 07-Gibson in the LMP2 Pro/Am category. Fuoco steps in for fellow Ferrari factory driver Alessio Rovera, joining established teammates François Perrodo and Matthieu Vaxiviere.
AF Corse, with Perrodo and Vaxiviere, has a strong recent track record, clinching back-to-back LMP2 Pro/Am titles in 2023 and 2024. The team finished fourth in the championship last season, but notably secured an overall victory at the 4 Hours of Barcelona, thanks to a spirited late-race performance by Vaxiviere.
Fuoco is coming off a competitive stint in the Asian Le Mans Series, where he secured two wins and finished as runner-up in the drivers’ standings while racing for AF Corse-run Cetilar Racing. His prior LMP2 experience includes a one-off appearance in the 2021 24 Hours of Daytona, marking a significant leap into this category.
The 2026 European Le Mans Series season will kick off at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya from April 10-12.
