Vector Sport has announced that Pietro Fittipaldi will stay with the team for the upcoming European Le Mans Series season, completing its LMP2 lineup.

Fittipaldi, the grandson of Formula 1 world champion and Indianapolis 500 winner Emerson, will form part of an unchanged lineup aboard Vector’s No. 10 Oreca 07 Gibson together with Ryan Cullen and Vlad Lomko.

Last year, the trio finished fourth in the LMP2 drivers’ standings with third-place finishes at Barcelona and Silverstone.

“I am very happy to continue with Vector Sport after finishing fourth last year in the championship,” said Fittipaldi. “It’s exciting to be part of the same lineup and we are all aiming for higher than last year.”

Fittipaldi, Cullen and Lomko will also share Vector’s No. 26 LMP2 entry for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, as was already confirmed by last week’s entry list reveal for the FIA World Endurance Championship blue riband.

The team will also field an Oreca in LMP2 Pro-Am in the ELMS, the No. 7 car, with ex-IndyCar racer Jacob Abel the only confirmed driver for that entry so far.

Vector also has a Pro-Am entry on the Le Mans reserve list, with Cem Bolukbasi, who raced in ELMS last year for Nielsen Racing, the sole named driver.

“Firstly, its great news to be running two LMP2 entries in Pro and Pro-Am, and we would like to thank the ACO for their trust and vision in seeing the growth and ability of the team,” said team principal Gary Holland.

“We are very pleased to be able to confirm the same driver lineup [in the No. 10 car]; all three drivers have proven their ability and to have that continuity in line up is quite rare.

“We have had a busy winter and we are very much looking forward to the ELMS season and making sure we kick on from last year.”

The 2026 ELMS season begins with the 4 Hours of Barcelona on April 12.
