Vector Sport is a British

LMP2 class, entering the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2022 and 2023.[1][2]

At the end of 2022, Vector agreed a technical partnership to run the Isotta Fraschini Tipo 6 LMH-C in the Le Mans Hypercar category in 2024.[3] However, the teams split amidst alleged contract breaches on the part of Isotta Fraschini, who later partnered with Duqueine Team.[4]
