End of suspense at Vanwall. Held back by his Super GT obligations, João Paulo de Oliveira will not be able to get back behind the wheel of the Vanwall Vandervell 680 during the next 8 Hours of Bahrain (November 4).

The Brazilian will be replaced by Ryan Briscoe, who will support the usual Tristan Vautier and Esteban Guerrieri. The Australian has been competing in recent years with Glickenhaus, the American team from which we have not heard since the 6 Hours of Monza (July 9).

The Vanwall will be one of the 12 Hypercars entered in the 8 Hours of Bahrain, final of the world championship ofEndurance FIA 2023 where 36 competitors will line up (11 LM P2 and 13 LM GTE Am).
