Nissany to Make LMP2 Debut With Duqueine

Roy Nissany will make his sports car racing debut, having signed on with Duqueine Team’s LMP2 effort in the European Le Mans Series.

The 30-year-old joins the French squad to pilot its No. 30 Oreca 07 Gibson, driving alongside Reshad de Gerus and Francesco Simonazzi.

Nissany moves into LMP2 after a lengthy tenure in junior single seaters, which included five seasons in the FIA Formula 2 Championship. He was also previously a test driver for the Williams Formula 1 team.

De Gerus, meanwhile, returns to Duqueine after a two-year absence. The Frenchman broke into LMP2 as a Silver-rated driver with the team in 2022 and subsequently drove for Cool Racing and IDEC Sport.

Simonazzi is set to take up the role of the mandatory Silver-rated driver, joining the team after previously competing in Euroformula Open and contesting three rounds of the FIA Formula 3 Championship with Rodin Carlin in 2023.

The ELMS season kicks off with the 4 Hours of Barcelona on April 6.
