G-Drive Racing will return to a full-time entry in the FIA World Endurance Championship and also contest January’s Rolex 24 at Daytona.
The Russian team will also once again receive operational support from the Portuguese Algarve Pro Racing squad.
G-Drive has made sporadic appearances in the WEC over the last few years and last contested a full campaign in 2017. It will be looking to capture a second LMP2 world title, having first taken the title during the 2015 season.
The team will kick off its season with the Rolex 24 at Daytona, marking the first time it has contested the twice-around-the-clock enduro at Daytona International Speedway.
“We’re delighted to be extending and expanding what has already been an incredibly successful partnership with G-Drive Racing,” said Algarve Pro Racing team principal Stewart Cox.
“Together, we’ve sealed three titles on two continents since the start of our association in 2019, winning the Asian Le Mans Series two years in succession and backing that up with the 2021 European Le Mans Series Pro-Am trophy.”
“As a result, it’s time to step up to the world stage in the FIA World Endurance Championship, and the aim has to be to shoot for the endurance racing ‘Triple Crown’ at Daytona, Sebring and Le Mans. It’s going to be a big year for Algarve Pro Racing and we’re already deep into our preparations, and we’re raring to get going.”
