🇮🇱 Roy Nissany

Roy Nissany is a professional single-seater and endurance racing driver, FIA Gold graded. He has spent most of his career in Formula 2, where he drove the SR1 and SR2 classes for PHM Racing by Charouz across six seasons from 2018 to 2023, taking a single podium from 119 starts. He currently races in the European Le Mans Series for Nielsen Racing, piloting an LMP2 prototype in this multiclass endurance championship.[1]

Nissany's strongest period came in Formula V8 3.5, where he competed for RP Motorsport from 2015 to 2017. He scored four wins and 14 podiums across 45 starts, finishing fourth in the championship standings in 2017 with one win and six podiums from 16 rounds. His earlier single-seater racing included 54 starts in FIA Formula 3 European for KFZTeile24 Mücke Motorsport in 2013 and 2014. Across his indexed career of 229 starts he has taken 15 podiums and four wins.[2]

In the fields he has raced, Nissany has regularly encountered established and professional-level drivers. He finished ahead of George Russell, the 2018 Formula 2 champion and current Formula 1 generational talent, twice in their meetings, and once ahead of Lando Norris, the 2017 FIA Formula 3 European champion and 2025 Formula 1 champion. Against his most frequent opponents he typically runs behind Jehan Daruvala, an established professional and fellow FIA Gold driver, though he has proven closely matched with Sean Gelael, a professional-level Silver-graded driver with extensive Formula 2 and endurance experience. His move to endurance racing with Nielsen places him in a shared-car format against a field mixing amateur and professional competitors.
