Bomarito and Johnson with Ford at Sebring

There will be changes in the Ford clan in the World Endurance Championship (WEC) during the 1 Miles of Sebring (Florida, March 15). The No. 66 Ford GT of Chip Ganassi Team UK will see the return of Billy Johnson in the company of the Frenchman Olivier Pla and the German Stefan Mücke.

 

The 31-year-old American was already part of the first two rounds of the 2018-19 Super-Season at Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium) and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Billy Johnson respectively won a victory there and a third place.

 

On the No. 67 Ford GT from the same team, it is Jonathan Bomarito who will take his first steps alongside Andy Priaulx and Harry Tincknell. Jonathan Bomarito will have a hard time in Florida because a few hours before, he will participate in the 16 Hours of Sebring on March 12 in a Mazda RT24-P DPi from the Joest team. 

This announcement confirms our information published in AUTO n°2201hebdo regarding the presence of Billy Johnson and Jonathan Bomarito at the 24 2019 Hours of Le Mans with Ford in GTE Pro.
