Will Stevens returns to G-Drive Racing with the occasion of the 6
Hours of Fuji, in a last minute change motivated by the absence of René
Rast. Although the Russian team had the German pilot for appointments
remaining in the WEC, the change of plans in the bosom of Audi Sport has forced
this dance of pilots in the Oreca 05-Nissan #26 last time. In this way, Will
Stevens will be uploaded in the LMP2 while René Rast will replace Mattias
Ekström in the Audi RS 5 DTM, every time the swede will be competing in the
World RX.
All in all, it will not be the first time that Will Stevens will compete
with the computer. In fact, Stevens already formed team with Roman Rusinov and Alex Brundle
in the Oreca 05-Nissan #26 during the dispute of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In that
time, the good relationship between G-Drive Racing and Manor has also caused a
series of changes of pilots that allowed Stevens to compete with the formation
Russian and Roberto Merhi compete with Manor. A movement that in addition to
it turned out to be a success as the Oreca 05-Nissan #26 G-Drive finished sixth
all in The Sarthe, and the second the LMP2.
With all, and although these changes do not have a relationship with
Manor, the british team will also be shifting its alignment of pilots in the face
the 6 Hours of Fuji. After playing the two rounds of the Endurance World in
american soil with a single LMP2, the team will align your second Oreca
05-Nissan. In principle, and if there are last minute changes, andn the Manor #44
go up Matt Rao, Richard Bradley and Roberto Merhi, while in the Manor #45
will compete Tor Graves, Alex Lynn, and the japanese rider Shinji Nakano, a former pilot
Formula 1
