Algarve Pro Racing has announced Tom Dillmann will anchor the lineup for its No. 25 Oreca 07 Gibson for the upcoming Asian Le Mans Series season.

Dillmann moves across from Proton Competition to join rookie Enzo Trulli and Bronze-rated Michael Jensen as the Portuguese team embarks on its quest to earn a third straight LMP2 title in the six-round campaign that kicks off at Sepang on Dec. 13-14.

Trulli was confirmed to be making his LMP2 race bow with the team last month but the identity of his teammates has only now been revealed.

“I’m excited to be teaming up with Michael, Enzo and Algarve Pro Racing for the 2025/26 Asian Le Mans Series,” said Dillmann. “The team has been super successful over its many years in Asia, so there’s every reason to expect us to be competitive.

“I will give my best as always, and we’ll see what we can achieve together.”

Algarve Pro is fielding a total of three LMP2 entries in the Asian Le Mans Series this winter, two under its own name — the No. 20 and No. 25 cars — and a third entered under the CrowdStrike Racing by APR banner.

That car, the No. 4 Oreca, will be shared by George Kurtz, Malthe Jakobsen and Louis Deletraz, a lineup that was revealed back in September.

The No. 20 only has one confirmed driver so far: Bronze-rated Kriton Lendoudis.

Algarve Pro won the 2024/25 LMP2 title with Jensen, Jakobsen and Valerio Rinicella sharing its No. 25 Oreca, while Jakobsen was also part of the 2023/24 title-winning CrowdStrike by APR lineup alongside Kurtz and Colin Braun.
