The Manor WEC team has confirmed a new driver for the 2016 season, with Richard Bradley joining the previously announced Will Stevens, James Jakes, Matt Rao and Tor Graves.
The LMP2 outfit recently revealed it will field two Oreca 05 cars in the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2016.
Bradley has been confirmed as one of the team’s drivers. He has extensive experience in endurance racing and raced the Oreca 05 in 2015.
He has raced for KCMG in LMP2 over the last three seasons, finishing joint second overall in the class and claiming victory at Le Mans in 2015.
"I am very happy to be joining Manor for the 2016 WEC," he said. "It is a project I thought was very interesting when I first heard about it and I am really excited to be working with John [Booth], Graeme [Lowdon] and all the Manor team.
"Whilst Manor are a new team to endurance racing I believe, with the people and package we have, we should be aiming for race wins from the start and I can't wait for our home race at Silverstone."
Team principal John Booth added: "We are delighted to welcome Richard to Manor for our first season in WEC.
"Richard brings with him substantial experience of endurance racing including winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans. He understands WEC very well having been in the series for the last few seasons and we are looking forward to racing with him in 2016."
