Robert Kubica will also have a program in the European Le Mans Series for the 2024 season thanks to the agreement reached with AO Racing and TF Sport.
Accompanied by his sponsor Orlen, with whom he has already committed to the FIA World Endurance Championship aboard the Ferrari 499P entered privately by AF Corse, the Pole will continue the adventure also with the Oreca LMP2, a car he knows well and with which he triumphed last year in the World Championship.
On the 07-Gibson entered with the #14 by the Orlen Team AO by TF there will also be Louis Delétraz, already his teammate in WRT in 2023 and LMP2 title holder, and the young Jonny Edgar, who grew up especially on single-seaters as the standard bearer of Red Bull Junior Team.
“I am happy to announce that I will be joining TF Sport together with Louis, with whom I raced in 2021, and Jonny, a very young and talented driver,” Kubica said.
“I look forward to being alongside Orlen Team AO by TF in the upcoming 2024 ELMS season, which will certainly not be easy with many extremely competitive cars and driver line-ups.”
“Returning to race in the championship that I won together with Louis gives us a lot of confidence, but it will definitely be a tough competition. I can't wait to start working with a new group of people and a new team: I'm happy to be part of this new project”.
Delétraz adds: “I'm really excited, I've already worked with Tom Ferrier and his team in 2023 and they impressed me a lot. Coming back to ELMS with Robert means a lot to me after we won the championship in 2021.”
“It will be our fourth year together, I think I'll have to start thinking about buying him a ring! Plus, Jonny's arrival is fantastic: he's young, fast and a great driver with a bright future ahead of him. I have no doubt that yes will integrate perfectly.”
“Finally, I am happy that AO Racing is joining us in this great program. We have a strong team, as well as our collaborators, I can't wait to get started.”
I also load Edgar: “I'm really excited to join such a great team and I'm looking forward to working with Louis and Robert. They both have won many races in important categories and I want to learn as much as possible from them.”
“This year there will be challenges, as it is a new category and a new style of racing for me, but I am sure that TF Sport is the best home for this next step in my career.”
Team Principal, Tom Ferrier, comments: “This lineup is fantastic, it took a lot of work behind the scenes to put together and we are really grateful for Orlen and AO's support of this program. We have three fantastic drivers who are not only very fast , but they are also good guys and real team men.”
“As a team we have shown great speed and results last year and in the current Asian Le Mans Series. I feel that we are now ready to take a step forward and win the European Le Mans Series, and that is our clear objective.”
