This marks Habsburg’s fourth season in ELMS, where he achieved championship glory in 2022 with Prema Racing. His success in the series, along with his great relationship with Nielsen Racing, makes the 2025 season one full of promise.
Ferdinand Habsburg:
“I’m excited to return to ELMS in 2025 with Nielsen Racing. We’ve built a great relationship over the past season in ALMS, and I’m confident that we can continue that momentum into ELMS. The competition is always tough, but I’m ready to fight for victories and challenge for the championship with them.”
The 2025 season will see Habsburg once again balancing a double campaign, racing in both the FIA World Endurance Championship with Alpine and the European Le Mans Series with Nielsen Racing, providing the Austrian driver with invaluable track time.
The full lineup of the #24 Nielsen Racing LMP2 car will be revealed at a later date.
