Vector Sport has retained Ryan Cullen, Pietro Fittipaldi and Vladislav Lomko for its #10 Oreca 07-Gibson in the 2026 European Le Mans Series. The British team will run two LMP2 entries this season, with the #10 competing in the Pro category alongside a second car in LMP2 Pro/Am. Cullen, Fittipaldi and Lomko will also continue together for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The trio finished fourth in the 2025 ELMS LMP2 standings after securing podium finishes at Barcelona and Silverstone. They will now begin their second consecutive season as a complete line-up when the championship returns to Spain in April.
Cullen enters his third ELMS season with Vector Sport
Cullen will remain with Vector Sport for a third successive ELMS campaign. The Irish driver competed alongside Fittipaldi and Lomko throughout 2025 and helped the team reach the podium at the opening round in Barcelona and its home event at Silverstone.
He welcomed the opportunity to continue with the same drivers and pointed to the work Vector Sport had completed since the previous season ended.
“I am really happy to be joining Vector Sport for a third year in ELMS with the team. I believe the team has made the right steps to give us improvement on performance than last year. I am looking forward to getting back in the car for 2026.
“Its great to be teaming up Pietro and Vlad again, I believe we form a strong team, I see the continuity with the drivers and team as a real positive”
Cullen’s return gives the #10 entry continuity both inside the cockpit and across its wider working relationship with Vector Sport.
Fittipaldi targets an improvement on fourth place
Fittipaldi will also continue with Vector Sport after joining Cullen and Lomko in the team’s 2025 ELMS programme.
The Brazilian helped the crew finish fourth in the championship as Vector Sport remained among the leading LMP2 teams during the six-round campaign. He will now return to the same car and driver combination as the team targets a stronger final position.
“ I am very happy to continue with Vector Sport after finishing 4^{th}last year in the Championship, its exciting to be part of the same line up and we are all aiming for higher than last year”.
The programme will give Fittipaldi another full ELMS season in the Oreca 07-Gibson, as well as a further appearance at Le Mans with the same teammates.
Lomko sets victory as the objective
Lomko completes the returning #10 crew and will again share the car with Cullen and Fittipaldi.
The unchanged line-up allows the three drivers to carry their experience from 2025 directly into the new campaign. Lomko highlighted the importance of maintaining that momentum and set a clear target for the season ahead.
“It’s always nice to keep the momentum and start in a good shape; be having the continuation of drivers and team from last year we hope to do so. The goal is to be on the top step”.
The Russian driver will therefore begin the season with the same teammates who helped Vector Sport secure two podium finishes during the previous campaign.
Vector Sport expands to two LMP2 entries
Vector Sport will operate one car in the main LMP2 category and another in LMP2 Pro/Am during the 2026 ELMS season.
The expansion gives the British squad two entries in a championship that will feature 23 LMP2 cars across the two classifications. The team has confirmed the full #10 line-up, while it will announce the drivers for the #7 Pro/Am entry separately.
Team Principal Gary Holland thanked the Automobile Club de l’Ouest for supporting the programme and welcomed the opportunity to retain all three #10 drivers.
“Firstly, its great news to be running 2 LMP2 entries in Pro and Pro Am and we would like to thank the ACO for their trust and vision in seeing the growth and ability of the team. We are very pleased to be able to confirm the same driver line up, all 3 drivers have proven their ability and to have that continuity in line up is quite rare.
“We have had a busy Winter and we are very much looking forward to the ELMS season and making sure we kick on from last year. We will announce the Car 7 line up in due course”
Vector Sport’s two-car programme will begin at the 4 Hours of Barcelona before moving through the remaining five rounds of the European season.
Le Mans programme retains the same driver combination
Cullen, Fittipaldi and Lomko will also represent Vector Sport in the LMP2 Pro category at the 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The decision gives the team the same driver combination across its ELMS and Le Mans programmes. As a result, the trio will carry its European campaign experience into the 24-hour race at the Circuit de la Sarthe.
Vector Sport will therefore enter 2026 with an unchanged #10 crew, a second ELMS car and programmes in both the European championship and Le Mans.
