G-Drive tests Alex Lynn

If the names of the old pilots of F1 Pastor Maldonado and Will Stevens have been circulating, G-Drive Racing is taking its time to choose the driver to support the Muscovite Roman Rusinov and the Vosges Pierre Thiriet on the No. 07 Oreca 26 lined up in WEC. It must be said that the trios announced by competition led by Signatech-Alpine, TDS Racing and Jackie Chan DC Racing look great.

The Russian team is testing Alex Lynn this week. Champion GP3 Series 2014 et vu en GP2 ces deux dernières saisons, le Britannique de 23 ans a découvert le pilotage d’une LMP avec Toyota, qui l’a convié à effectuer des tests. Mais il a également participé, l’année passée, aux trois dernières manches du WEC sous les couleurs de Manor.

Note that next week he will be at the start of the 12 Hours of Sebring in the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac DPi-V.R, winner of the last 24 Hours of Daytona. It's up to him to prove to G-Drive Racing that he has what it takes to win in LM P2.

If he were to be established, it remains to be seen what would happen to his role as a reserve at DS Virgin Racing in Formula e, who certainly had to count on him for the events where José-Maria Lopez and Sam Bird would be absent, due to date clashes with the WEC.
