Barcelona, Spain – March 2026

Less than a month before the opening round of the 2026 European Le Mans Series (ELMS) at Barcelona on April 12, teams are progressively unveiling their driver lineups and liveries. Among the strongest contenders in the LMP2 Pro/Am category, AF Corse has made a major statement—both on track and in design—by confirming a high-caliber crew and introducing a striking new visual identity supported by Racing Emotion.

A Star-Studded Lineup for AF Corse #83

AF Corse’s #83 Oreca 07 LMP2 enters the 2026 ELMS season with one of the most competitive Pro/Am lineups on the grid. Italian endurance star Antonio Fuoco joins the team, replacing Alessio Rovera. Fuoco, winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2024 and a key driver of the Ferrari 499P Hypercar #50 in the FIA World Endurance Championship, brings top-tier experience and outright pace.

He will race alongside:

• François Perrodo – 2021 Le Mans winner (LMGTE Am) and back-to-back ELMS LMP2 Pro/Am Champion (2023, 2024)

• Matthieu Vaxiviere – ELMS Champion (2023, 2024) and Alpine Hypercar reserve driver

This Franco-Italian trio forms one of the most balanced and experienced crews in endurance racing, combining gentleman driver consistency, factory-level speed, and championship-winning chemistry.

Performance Meets Design

For the 2026 season, the #83 Oreca 07 features a completely refreshed livery designed by Benoit Fraylon, founder of Racing Emotion and creative force behind Le Mans Heroes.

The updated livery not only enhances trackside visibility but also reinforces Racing Emotion’s positioning as a premium design-driven brand deeply embedded in endurance racing culture.

Every surface of the car has been treated as a canvas—balancing technical constraints with artistic intent—to deliver a cohesive identity aligned with AF Corse’s competitive DNA.
