The No. 47 Ferrari 499P will be fielded by Cetilar Racing (with technical management by AF Corse), a team that was already a key contender last season, finishing second in the overall standings. Sharing the wheel will be Roberto Lacorte, Nicola Lacorte, and Ferrari Official Driver Antonio Fuoco.

The No. 90 Ferrari from AF Corse will see Luís Pérez Companc take turns behind the wheel alongside Ferrari Official Drivers Nicklas Nielsen and Yifei Ye.

Roberto Lacorte: “The new challenge we’re about to take on alongside Ferrari, in a top-tier category like Hypercar and in a rapidly growing championship like the Asian Le Mans Series, is a milestone in Cetilar Racing’s history. And the fact that it coincides with the 10th anniversary of our first participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which took place in June 2017, speaks volumes about how much the team has grown over this decade, gaining experience and achieving success in the world’s most important endurance championships. 

"With the usual, invaluable support of AF Corse, we’ll be taking to the track in a marvellous and winning prototype like the Ferrari 499P, and we’re truly thrilled to be the first private team to experience this moment, driven by the same passion that has always set us apart.  A beautiful, challenging, and exciting challenge awaits us: we can’t wait to take it on and share it with all our fans who have supported us for years, starting with the unveiling of the new No. 47 livery, which we’ll reveal at the end of October”.

Nicklas Nielsen: “I'm very happy to be racing in the Asian Le Mans Series with Luís and Yifei. We've been doing quite a lot of LMP2 together with Luís, so I'm looking forward to driving with him again in such a competitive championship. It's always nice to drive the 499P, so I'm looking forward to trying a new environment”. 

The championship will kick off in France at the Paul Ricard Circuit in Le Castellet on the weekend of November 14–15, 2026. After the winter break, the series will return to the track in 2027 for the second round at the Circuito de Jerez, scheduled for January 16–17, before the grand finale at the Portimão circuit on February 20–21.
