The Brazilian, who has participated in the development of the new BMW M4 GT3 recently, has reached an agreement with BHK Motorsport to be part of the contingent of the 'Oreca 07 No. 35 entered in LMP2 in European Le Mans Series.

Within the English team, Augusto Farfus will not only be a driver. With a double hat, the South American will in fact coach the LMP3 program where BHK Motorsport enters a Ligier JS P320, still in ELMS.

« It is an immense pleasure for me to join the BHK Motorsport team, which I thank for the trust it has placed in me in this dual role., savors the main interested party. It is a new adventure which represents an unprecedented challenge for me, which I will take on with great enthusiasm and motivation (…) The European Le Mans Series grid is one of the strongest in the world, with several teams who also participate in WEC and IMSA and many top drivers: it will be nice to race in such an environment. Besides BHK and Francesco, I would also like to thank BMW Motorsport for giving me the opportunity to make this other commitment for this season."
