Cool Shuffles Lineup; Chatin Replaces Miyata for Imola

Cool Racing has adjusted its lineup for the third round of the European Le Mans Series at Imola, with Paul-Loup Chatin replacing Ritomo Miyata as a result of clashing FIA Formula 2 commitments.

Confirmed as part of the 43-car entry list released for the event, Chatin will partner up with Lorenzo Fluxa and Malthe Jakobsen aboard the No. 37 Oreca 07 Gibson for the 4 Hours of Imola.

The Alpine Hypercar driver replaces Miyata, who is racing with Rodin Motorsport in Formula 2 at Silverstone this weekend.

Chatin effectively moves across from the No. 47 car he drove for the opening two rounds as a stand-in for the injured Ferdinand Habsburg.

The Austrian returns to the car at Imola, with a further lineup adjustment as Isotta Fraschini Hypercar driver Carl Wattana Bennett has replaced Alex Garcia to drive alongside Habsburg and Frederik Vesti.

Although not shown on the entry list, IDEC Sport has announced that Paul Lafargue will go absent from Imola for personal reasons and will instead be replaced by Marcos Siebert.

Siebert, the reigning ELMS LMP3 champion, will team up with Reshad de Gerus and Job Van Uitert aboard the No. 28 Oreca.

In LMP3, meanwhile, Alexandre Yvon returns to the No. 35 Ultimate Ligier JS P320 Nissan to team up with Jean-Baptiste and Matthieu Lahaye.
