ALEX BRUNDLE JOINS G-DRIVE RACING FOR FIA WEC CAMPAIGN

G-Drive Racing is delighted to announce today the signing of Alex Brundle to join the team’s FIA World Endurance Championship campaign in the No.26 ORECA 05-Nissan.

Brundle will join G-Drive Racing for the 6 Hours of Nürburgring next month and complete the remainder of the season in the LMP2 class with the Russian entered team.

With extensive experience in endurance racing, Brundle is one of the UK’s most accomplished young talents in sportscar competition. The 25 year-old has carved out an excellent reputation in LMP2 over the last few seasons.

A versatile and talented driver, Brundle finished second in the 2013 FIA WEC LMP2 class and also at that year’s Le Mans 24 Hours. A year later Brundle and his Oak Racing teammates lead most of the LMP2 class at Le Mans but were denied by a late technical problem.

After a brief break from racing in the first half of 2015, Brundle returned with a superb performance at the 6 Hours of Shanghai, where he led the LMP2 class in wet conditions.
