Tom Blomqvist joins ESM LMP2 line-up for 6 Hours of Shanghai

BMW DTM driver Tom Blomqvist has joined the Extreme Speed Motorsports No.30 LMP2 driver line-up for the 6 Hours of Shanghai.

Blomqvist is on the entry list for the Jagonya Ayam-backed Ligier JS P2 Nissan alongside GP2 drivers Antonio Giovinazzi and Sean Gelael.

Giovinazzi and Gelael competed with former F1 driver Giedo van der Garde at the last round in Fuji, Japan, finishing fourth.

But Blomqvist will replace van der Garde and make his FIA World Endurance Championship debut in China, having just concluded his second DTM season with BMW.
