Rockenfeller replaces Bourdais at Vector for Sebring WEC opener

Rockenfeller replaces Bourdais at Vector for Sebring WEC opener

With Bourdais concentrating solely on his IMSA SportsCar Championship duties during the Sebring double header weekend, Vector Sport has signed 2010 Le Mans winner Rockenfeller to partner Nico Muller and Ryan Cullen in the 1000-mile American event.

The 2013 DTM champion, who split with Audi following the 2021 DTM campaign, will also take part in the Sebring 12 Hours IMSA race that will follow a day after the WEC curtain-raiser.

He’s entered in Action Express Racing’s enduro-only #48 Ally Cadillac entry alongside Jimmie Johnson and Kamui Kobayashi.

“LMP2 this year is definitely the most competitive in the WEC and I’m very happy to join Vector Sport for their first race,” 35-year-old Rockenfeller said. 

“It will be really cool to be part of it. It’s always great to have big challenges and this is one of those.  

“Sebring is going to be a busy week for me but I’m looking forward to it; I can’t wait to start work and try and get some trophies.”
