LP Racing have announced that they will field a second Maserati GT2 for their Fanatec GT2 European Series Powered by Pirelli campaign in 2024 for Am driver Philippe Prette.
The Italian squad - which claimed the Pro-Am title by a single point last season - have already confirmed their return to Pro-Am for the coming term, with Leonardo Gorini and Carlo Tamburini partnering in the number #1 Maserati.
Luca Pirri's outfit has now confirmed a second Maserati will join its books, with car #2 to be piloted by Ferrari Challenge winner Prette in the Am class. Father of Louis Prette, a Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS competitor racing with Garage 59 this year, the Italian has five titles and over 40 wins to his name in Ferrari Challenge over a period of 14 seasons.
Prette looks ahead to his Fanatec GT2 debut with optimism, saying: "I am very happy to be part of this team and a new experience with the Maserati. I tested the car and it is amazing, and I am pleased to be racing with the GT2 championship-winning team - LP Racing - in a series that is in a very good place at the moment."
Team Principal Pirri commented: “Philippe Prette is a well-known Ferrari Challenge winner, and we believe he is now ready to compete in the fastest GT Championship for non-professional drivers. We are confident that Philippe will be a man to watch for the Am title this coming season.”
LP Racing's first racing action of the new Fanatec GT2 European Series Powered by Pirelli season will come at Circuit Paul Ricard in France across 5-6 April.
