2022 Formula 2 champion Felipe Drugovich will join Action Express Racing and Cadillac for this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, the team and manufacturer has confirmed.

The Brazilian will partner Jack Aitken and countryman Pipo Derani to make his debut in the French endurance classic.

Action Express Racing regularly race a factory-backed Cadillac V-Series.R in the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship, but will make their second start at Le Mans this year, after finishing 17th overall and 10th in class last year.

Drugovich, reserve driver for the Aston Martin Formula 1 team, has been racing in the European Le Mans Series this year for Vector Sport. However, he’ll swap the LMP2 cockpit for a Hypercar seat at Le Mans.

The 23 year old tested for the team at Laguna Seca, impressing the team with his lap times.

“I barely touched the magic of Le Mans 24 hours, winning twice the virtual editions,” said Drugovich.

“Now I am going to plunge into it for real with the No. 311 Cadillac of Action Express Racing, with my fellow Brazilian Pipo Derani and Jack Aitken. What a privilege having another dream coming true.

“I am only 23 years old, and I am having the most important opportunity in my racing car career until now thanks to Action Express and Cadillac.

“The 24 Hours of Le Mans is impossible to define in words, such is its magic and importance for cars in general and motor racing in particular. I am having the opportunity to live this 100 years history for the first time with AXR and Cadillac.”

Meanwhile, Action Express team manager Gary Nelson said, “Felipe has been on our radar for a couple of years. After watching him race a sports car in the ELMS recently, we finally got a chance to meet him and work with him in some simulator testing. We were impressed by his maturity, discipline and knowledge.

“Next, we took Felipe to a track test, where he shared our car with Pipo and Jack. We are very excited to take the next obvious step and enter Felipe alongside Pipo and Jack at Le Mans. His record speaks volumes.”

This year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans will take place on 15th-16th June.
