DragonSpeed has unveiled the livery for its Oreca 05 Nissan that will compete in this year’s European Le Mans Series season, Twelve Hours of Sebring, and 24 Hours of Le Mans, pending entry from the Automobile Club de l’Ouest.

Following its program in the Blancpain Endurance Series last year, the Florida-based team will again mount a European program, but this time in LMP2, for U.S.-based Swede Henrik Hedman, who will be joined by former Toyota factory driver Nicolas Lapierre.

Nic Minassian will complete the team’s lineup for Sebring, with the third driver for the ELMS still to be determined.

As was the case with Hedman’s GT3 cars in both Blancpain GT and Pirelli World Challenge, the car is adorned in stars, in an Evel Knievel-like design.
