Stephane Richelmi has completed Vector Sport’s lineup for the upcoming European Le Mans Series season, joining the previously announced Ryan Cullen and Gabriel Aubry in the team’s Oreca 07 Gibson.

The 33-year-old Monegasque driver will dovetail his drive with the Gary Holland-led operation with his existing commitments related to the ACO’s Mission H24 hydrogen project.

“We are absolutely delighted to welcome Stéphane to the team,” Holland said. “He is a proven winner and I am sure will fit seamlessly into the team given that he has worked with a large number of the team members before.

“I feel we now have a fantastic balance of speed, consistency and maturity.

“Our driver line up consists of winners of the major endurance events including Le Mans 24 Hours, Daytona 24 Hours, WEC races and Asian Le Mans Series, and we fully intend to make our mark in ELMS.”

Richelmi added: “[Vector Sport is] a professional team and I will be reunited with people I have shared good memories with including Gabriel Aubry, who I have shared some previous successes with.

“We are all very motivated to chase podiums again and are looking forward to the first race already.”
