Two FIA World Endurance Championship youngsters and rookies Carl Bennett and Antonio Serravalle will join Isotta Fraschini Milano (IFM) team
With Bennett and Serravalle being 19 and 21 years old respectively, they have become the youngest drivers in the Hypercar category, surpassing the previous youngest driver, Yifei Ye, who is 23 years old. Both drivers will make their debut in the FIA WEC this year, driving the #11 Tipo 6 LMH Competizione for IFM throughout the full season. Vernay, the most experienced driver of the three, has been involved in extensive testing with Isotta Fraschini during the development phase. This mix of youth and experience is seen as a key factor for Isotta Fraschini, as these three drivers will become ambassadors for the brand in Europe, North America, and Asia. IFM’s participation in the FIA WEC 2024 season is considered fantastic news, although they expect tough competition from experienced drivers. Serravalle, with previous LMP3 experience, and Bennett, a current Duqueine LMP2 driver, express their excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to compete in the World Endurance Championship. IFM will begin their FIA WEC campaign with the pre-season Prologue test in Qatar at the end of the month.
