Pratt Miller Names Fittipaldi, Roe for LMP2 Program

Pratt Miller Motorsports has named Pietro Fittipaldi and James Roe as the first two drivers for its IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship LMP2 program next year.

The two drivers will pilot the No. 73 Oreca 07 Gibson, which Pratt Miller will operate alongside its continuing two-car Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R effort in GTD Pro.

Fittipaldi, 28, has previous experience racing LMP2 machinery for the likes of Inter Europol Competition and JOTA, while Roe is set for his first sports car outings.

The Irish-born racer will combine his LMP2 commitments with a third season driving for Andretti Global in Indy NXT.

A Bronze-rated driver for the program has not yet been named.

“We’re excited to deepen our involvement in IMSA by launching an LMP2 program,” said Brandon Widmer, Pratt Miller Motorsports Vice President.

“This expansion reflects our commitment to innovation and performance.

“Over this past season, we have been laying the groundwork to build a comprehensive motorsports platform that maximizes our partners’ return on their investment with us.

“With Pietro Fittipaldi’s extensive experience and championships across multiple racing formats and James Roe’s ascension through the American open-wheel ranks, we’re confident these drivers bring the skill and determination needed to make our LMP2 debut a success.

“We expect to announce a bronze-rated driver and a fourth endurance driver in the very near future, further strengthening our team for the upcoming season.”
