PJ Hyett and Dane Cameron were set to race with sports car champion Louis Deletraz.<\/p>\n
However, Deletraz has been called up to Hypercar squad Team Jota to replace Alex Lynn, who is set to undergo neck surgery.<\/p>\n
Allen will race the #99 AO Racing Oreca LMP2 in the Pro-Am category.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really excited to be joining AO Racing for the 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans,\u201d said Allen.<\/p>\n
\u201cAO have proven to be an exceptional team during their time in LMP2 and the results they have achieved in such a short time in the category speak for themselves.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to working with Dane, PJ and everyone at the team with the goal of repeating their success at Le Mans from last year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Allen will race the fourth character in AO Racing\u2019s growing line-up of iconic mascots.<\/p>\n
The team famously started out with Rexy in the FIA World Endurance Championship, a green Porsche 911 RSR made to look like a dinosaur.<\/p>\n
Then came Roxy, an alternative pink version that was born out of the team entering two cars in selected IMSA SportsCar Championship events.<\/p>\n
Spike was the team\u2019s first LMP2 character, a purple and orange dragon.<\/p>\n
Rockie is the latest mascot for the team, which is part of a partnership with oil giant Mobil 1.<\/p>\n
\u201cBorn from a collaborative effort with Mobil 1, Rockie brings a new presence and energy to the AO universe,\u201d AO Racing said in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cHer towering wings and small hooves appear poised for takeoff, ready to take flight.<\/p>\n
\u201cFlared nostrils and a focused expression give her an aggressive edge, accompanied by a flowing red mane and a sharp white blaze running down the bridge of her nose.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rockie the Pegasus will contest the 24 Hours of Le Mans with AO by TF.<\/p>\n
AO Racing\u2019s efforts at Le Mans will once again be supported by TF Sport.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s always exciting going back to Le Mans for the 24 hours, but this year is extra special,\u201d said team principal Gunnar Jeannette.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst, returning as winners in the LMP2 Pro\/Am category, but also introducing the world to the newest AO Character.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve put a massive amount of effort into bringing Rockie to life, and we can\u2019t wait to see how the fans across the globe react to meeting her at the best racing event of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 24 Hours of Le Mans takes place on June 10-14.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
