Alex Brundle, joins G-Drive Racing for FIA WEC Campaign

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.

“The Nürburgring event can't come soon enough and it's fantastic to be re-joining this global series, representing my long term sponsors Richard Mille.”

“It will be a real privilege to work with the team, who have proven it to be one of the best endurance outfits worldwide. With the massive experience of Rene and the pace of Roman I think we will make a potent combination, to deliver strong results for the remainder of the season.”

Alex Brundle is now leading the LMP3 class in the ELMS championship and will be competing in both ELMS and FIA WEC for the rest of the season.
