Fittipaldi to sub for injured Novalak in Daytona 24 Hours
During Friday morning’s practice session, Clément Novalak sustained a leg and hip injury in a pit lane incident, forcing him to withdraw from the event. Pietro Fittipaldi has been called in as a replacement and will join Nick Boulle, Jakub Śmiechowski, and Tom Dillmann in the team’s No. 52 entry in the LMP2 category. Fittipaldi has prior experience with Inter Europol Competition, driving the ORECA 07 in the European Le Mans Series in 2022. Despite qualifying second in class, the team will likely start at the rear of the LMP2 grid due to the driver change. Nick Boulle will begin the race on Saturday at 1:40 pm ET.
