Sébastien Ogier at the Bahrain Rookie Test with Toyota

The day after the 8 Hours of Bahrain, Sébastien Ogier will participate in the Rookie Test of WEC driving the Hypercar Toyota GR010, winner of 24 Hours of Le Mans. The seven-time world rally champion, in the race for an 8th coronation, spent two days in the Japanese team's simulator in Cologne (Germany) to get to grips with the prototype. On November 7, he will not be the only Frenchman to grind the asphalt of Sakhir with the Toyota GR010. VSharles Milesi will also take part in the Bahraini Rookie Test.

« It's one of my dreams to run Endurance and to participate in the world championship in the future. This test is important to learn more about the car, my own level and what it is possible to do. It's a great challenge for me. I'm very excited and working hard to be ready and can't wait!“, reacted Sébastien Ogier.
