Kessel Racing has set its two-car Ferrari lineup for next month’s Gulf 12 Hours as it seeks a fifth overall victory at the event.

The Swiss squad won the race overall four times in a row between 2015 and 2018 and has also taken an additional four class wins.

Davide Rigon, who was part of all four of Kessel’s overall wins, will once again compete with the team as he spearheads the lineup for the No. 11 Ferrari 296 GT3 alongside Murat Cuhadaroglu, team regular David Fumanelli and LMP2 and LMGT3 racer Giorgio Roda.

The sister No. 74 car, meanwhile is set to be piloted by Andrew Gilbert, Fran Rueda and Tanart Sathienthirakul.

 Rueda and Gilbert shared a Kessel-run Ferrari in the Michelin Le Mans Cup this year, while Sathienthirakul joins after winning the Silver Cup title Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS Endurance Cup driving for Winward Racing.
