Callum Ilott has landed a Rolex 24 at Daytona drive with the new Pratt Miller Motorsports LMP2 operation, joining the previously announced Pietro Fittipaldi and James Roe, plus newly named full season Bronze-rated driver Chris Cumming in the team’s Oreca 07 Gibson.

The ex-Hertz Team JOTA Hypercar star, who will return to full-time NTT IndyCar Series competition with Prema, previously told Sportscar365 that he was seeking a drive in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season opener.

Ilott has been confirmed alongside Cumming, who will join Fittipaldi for the full seven-round LMP2 season, with fellow open-wheel driver Roe completing the lineup for the Michelin Endurance Cup races.

Cumming, meanwhile, will be making his first WeatherTech Championship start since 2017 and first full-time campaign in nine years, having previously been a stalwart of Prototype Challenge competition.

The Michigan-based Pratt Miller squad, which is reportedly in contention for the Genesis GTP effort beginning in 2027, will make its return to prototype racing next year alongside the continued operation of the works-supported Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs in the GTD Pro class.
