Olli Caldwell enriches his program by Endurance alongside its commitment to Alpine in WEC. The young Briton will be able to rely on the experience of his two teammates. Jonathan Aberdein, ELMS vice-champion in 2021, is coming off a full year with Jota and a 3rd place at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Rui Andrade finished 3rd in the WEC championship in the LM P2 category with the Realteam by WRT team last season, with a victory at the 6 Hours of Monza.

“I'm really looking forward to participating in the European Le Mans Series this season with Inter Europol Competition, rejoiced Olli Caldwell. Having made the transition to sports cars this year, combining the ELMS with my full season campaign in the World Endurance Championship gives me the opportunity to gain plenty of experience for my first season complete in LM P2. I can't wait to start working with the team, which has proven that it is capable of winning races, and I am confident that we can continue this momentum this season, fighting for the ELMS title. »

The Polish team will also field a Ligier JS P320 in the LM P3 category. The No. 13 car, so close to the title last year, will be driven by Miguel Cristovao, Wyatt Brichacek and Kai Askey.
