Giancarlo Fisichella will complete an all-Italian line-up for the Risi squad for the full season in the bright red #62.
For the Rolex 24 the pairing are joined by FIA World Endurance Championship LMGTE Pro class champion Gianmaria Bruni, who will rejoin Fisichella having been split from his regular WEC teammate for the finale in Bahrain. Olivier Beretta, Maluclelli’s teammate at the Houston based team last season will complete the team for the race (January 25-26).
Risi have also been announced as receiving an automatic entry to the 2014 Le Mans 24 Hours alongside Muscle Milk Racing with their Oreca 03.
Team boss Giuseppe Risi said: “Budget permitting, Le Mans is definitely part of Risi’s plans for 2014. It’s an integral part of international sportscar racing and is the race we all want to be part of.”
