🇻🇪 Vicente Potolicchio

Vicente Potolicchio is an established professional who raced in the FIA World Endurance Championship, a multiclass endurance series in which prototype and production cars share the grid and drivers rotate through each race. Competing in the LMP2 prototype class and the LMGTE Am production class, he drove for Starworks Motorsports and 8 Star Motorsports across three seasons from 2012 to 2014.[1]

Potolicchio took five wins and twelve podiums across eighteen starts in the WEC. He won the championship in both 2012 and 2013, each time in the LMP2 class; in 2014 he contested two rounds before ending his indexed career in 24th in the standings. His Le Mans victories came in the LMP2 category, and he was a regular on the endurance grid across his tenure.[2]

In a field mixing amateurs and semi-professionals with graded professionals, Potolicchio raced consistently against Bronze-graded drivers such as Christian Ried, a three-time WEC LMGTE Am champion, and Luis Pérez-Companc, whom he matched closely. He finished ahead of Brendon Hartley, later a Formula 1 driver and 2016 WEC LMP1 champion, and beat two-time Formula 1 race winner Martin Brundle on separate occasions.
