New challenge with Inception Racing.

I will race the ten-hour Petit Le Mans alongside Frederik Schandorff and Brendan Iribe, sharing the No. 70 Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo. It will be my third IMSA start after Watkins Glen and Road America.

I would have preferred the opportunity to come under different circumstances. I will stand in for my friend Ollie Millroy while he continues his recovery, with the goal of supporting the team in the season finale and fighting for a strong result.

ELMS · 4H Spa-Francorchamps · 23.08.2026

Competitive at Spa.

The circumstances were not on our side again, but I take away all the positives from the weekend. We had pace, ran near the front in every session and the Ferrari 296 LMGT3 felt very competitive.

An incident during the opening hour cost us a lap and also damaged the car. Even so, we kept fighting to the flag and finished eleventh. Now it is time to work and come back stronger at Silverstone.

IMSA debut.

My first race in the United States came at the Watkins Glen 6 Hours, sharing Conquest Racing's No. 34 Ferrari 296 GT3 EVO with Albert Costa and Lorenzo Patrese.

It was an almost perfect race, fighting for the podium and the victory from the start. We eventually crossed the line sixth in GTD: an exciting debut and an experience that opens a new chapter.

A victory to remember.

The season began in the best possible way: victory at the Dubai 24 Hours with Team WRT and the BMW M4 GT3 EVO. Twenty-four hours of focus, pace and teamwork.

Standing on the top step of the podium and becoming the first Spanish driver to win this race made the result even more special.

A new chapter begins in 2026 with Kessel Racing and the Ferrari 296 LMGT3 Evo. Returning to the European Le Mans Series means being back in one of the most competitive championships on the calendar.

The goal is clear: build a strong season, make every opportunity count and fight at the front with the team.

The first time at Le Mans.

Racing in the Le Mans 24 Hours for the first time fulfilled one of the great dreams of my career. A unique week shared with Iron Lynx and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo.

A retirement kept us from finishing the way we wanted, but the experience, the atmosphere and every lap of La Sarthe will stay with me forever.
