Roy Nissany joins Nielsen Racing for the 2026 ELMS season

After his first season in sports prototypes with the Duqueine team in 2025, Roy Nissany continues his transition to endurance racing after several years spent in Formula 2 and a role as an official test pilot at Williams F1 in 2020-2021.

« I am really happy to be back in Europe Le Mans Series and delighted to join Nielsen Racing for 2026, Nissany declares. I learned a lot during my first season, and this feels like the right step forward. I followed the team's work throughout last season, and they did an excellent job. I'm looking forward to collaborating with everyone and aiming for strong results. The Oreca 07 is an incredible car to drive, and the level of competition in LMP2 is very high, which makes this championship particularly exciting. »

To complete the lineup of its second LMP2 car, Nielsen Racing will soon announce the third driver who will join Nissany and Pearson. Reshad de Gerus, a former teammate of Roy Nissany at Duqueine in 2025, has signed with Inter Europol Competition for the 2026 season. A brand new trio will represent the French team on the continental stage with Giorgio Roda, Richard Verschoor, and Dorian Pin.
