Aston reserve Drugovich to make race return in European Le Mans Series
Felipe Drugovich, the Brazilian-Italian driver, will be joining the British team’s LMP2 Oreca-Gibson 07 for the full six-round ELMS season alongside Stephane Richelmi and Ryan Cullen. Despite not racing since winning the 2022 Formula 2 Championship, Drugovich is eager to return to real races and bring his endurance racing experience to the team. The Vector team principal, Gary Holland, expressed his excitement about having Drugovich on board and believes the lineup is well-balanced for success. Drugovich’s schedule with Vector will keep him busy on weekends that were previously free due to his reserve role with Aston Martin in F1. The team is gearing up for the ELMS season, starting in April, but Drugovich’s deal does not currently include the Le Mans 24 Hours WEC round in June. Despite potential conflicts with F1 races, Drugovich’s commitment to Vector and the upcoming ELMS season remains a priority.
