Former Formula 1 driver Will Stevens will return to the FIA World Endurance Championship for the 6 Hours of Fuji.
He will compete for G-Drive Racing, who he raced for at this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, and will join the driver line-up of the No.26 car.
Stevens will sub for Rene Rast, who is competing in the DTM season finale at the Hockenheimring for Audi.
The British driver returns to the WEC for the first time since Le Mans, where his car finished second. He drove for Manor in the first two rounds of the season.
Stevens joins Roman Rusinov and Alex Brundle in the No.26 ORECA 05-Nissan LMP2 car for the 6 Hours of Fuji in Japan.
“I am delighted to return to WEC with G-Drive Racing for the Fuji event,” he said.
“I really enjoyed my time with the team at Le Mans where we showed we could mount a strong challenge for a potential victory.
“Fuji is a new circuit for me but one which I think we will have a very strong package in the G-Drive Racing ORECA 05-Nissan.”
