Team H24 Racing – MissionH24

Riders

Stéphane Richelmi

Born on 17 March 1990 in Monaco

The last driver to join the MissionH24 project, on which TotalEnergies is a major partner, Stéphane Richelmi has the experience necessary to make a telling contribution to this highly innovative project aimed at creating a category dedicated to hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. He has a wealth of experience in prototype racing, the highlight of which was winning the LMP2 class during the 2016 season of the FIA WEC. Alongside his team-mates at Signatech Alpine, he won no fewer than four races that year, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 2018, he won the Asian Le Mans Series, again in the LMP2 class. He is one of the drivers tasked with showing the potential of the prototype on track, whilst making the most of the track time in competitive conditions to fine-tune development with the technical teams.

COMPETITIVE RECORD

  • 2018: LMP2 class champion - Asian Le Mans Series & runner-up in LMP2 class - FIA WEC
  • 2016: LMP2 class champion - FIA WEC with four race wins, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans
  • 2010: Italian F3 championship runner-up

Norman Nato

Born on 8 July 1992 in Cannes, France

Introduced at a very early age to the world of motorsport, Norman made his debut in single-seater in 2010, competing in the F4 Eurocup 1.6 championship with the Auto Sport Academy team. He finished second overall in his first season. After spending four years racing in Formula Renault 2.0 and Formula Renault 3.5, in 2015 Norman Nato joined the GP2 Series, forerunner to the F2 championship, with Arden International. He enjoyed his best finish in the series in 2016, ending the year in fifth place with Racing Engineering. In 2018, he left single-seater racing, switching to Endurance and prototype racing. It proved to be a good move because alongside Olivier Pla and Paul Petit, he finished third in the ELMS championship competing for Racing Engineering. He has since then split his time between Endurance and Formula E. The 2019-2020 Endurance season was undoubtedly his most accomplished as he claimed third place overall in the LMP1 class of the FIA WEC with Rebellion Racing. That same year, after finishing as runners-up at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, his crew won races at the Circuit Of The Americas (COTA) and in Shanghai. In Formula E, he competed in a full season in 2021 with ROKiT Venturi Racing, before becoming a test driver for Jaguar Racing. He then moved to Nissan for another full campaign (2023) and he is now competing for Andretti Formula E. His considerable and varied experience, acquired in both Prototype and single-seater racing, makes him a very valuable asset for the development of MissionH24.
