TF SPORT AND AO RACING READY TO FLY ON THE WINGS OF SPIKE THE DRAGON IN THE 2025 EUROPEAN LE MANS SERIES SEASON!

After having joined forces in 2024 during the European Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, TF Sport and AO Racing are gearing up for a new adventure together. Spike, the famous purple-and-orange Oreca 07 Gibson, is ready to fly again on European soil in the 2025 season of the European Le Mans Series.

After winning the championship in the LMP2 category last year, AO by TF will participate in the next season of the ELMS in the LMP2 Pro/Am class. Spike has already brought joy to the team in this category, finishing 2nd in the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2024.

At the wheel of Spike, lined up with #99, will be a trio of aces: PJ Hyett, Louis Delétraz and Dane Cameron. PJ Hyett - AO Racing Team Owner and Driver - has a wealth of experience in endurance racing: starring in the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship and in the FIA World Endurance Championship in recent seasons, PJ Hyett will return to racing with TF Sport after his podium finish in the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2024. Louis Delétraz, born in Geneva in 1997, has played an important role in the history of TF Sport. The Swiss driver, world champion in the LMP2 class of the FIA WEC in 2023 and LMP2 class champion of the European Le Mans Series in the 2021, 2022 and 2024 seasons, will continue to race with the team in the hunt for further success.

Dane Cameron, born in Newport Beach in 1988, will be joining TF Sport for the first time. The US driver has been a benchmark in the world of endurance racing for many years: he claimed the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship title in 2014 in the GTD class, in 2019 in the P class and in 2019 in the DPi class, he won the 24 Hours of Daytona 2024 and raced in the Hypercar class of the FIA World Endurance Championship with the Porsche 963 in 2022 and in 2023.

The three drivers and Spike, the fastest dragon the racing world has ever seen, will take to the track at the Circuit de Montmeló during the Official Test of the European Le Mans Series scheduled for 1 April. The #99 LMP2 Pro/AM AO by TF car will then be ready to fight for victory in its class from the first round of the championship, the 4 Hours of Barcelona, scheduled for the weekend of 6 April.
