Le Mans – Mitch Evans confirmed at Jota Sport

Mitch Evans has been confirmed to 6 Hours of Spa (May 2) and 24 Hours of Le Mans (June 13 and 14) on the Gibson 015S-Nissan LMP2 entered by Jota Sport. The 2012 GP3 Series champion will share the wheel with Simon Dolan and Nick Yelloly by replacing Filipe Albuquerque retained by Audi which will align the Portuguese on its third R18 e-tron quattro.

The New Zealander will therefore have a busy schedule this season as he will also be competing in his third season in the GP2 Series. “I've never driven a prototype before last month and I had no problem adapting. I have followed motorsport for many years and Le Mans has always been on the list. »

Mitch Evans will make his debut in Endurance in a team of choice since it was Jota Sport which won the LMP2 category in Sarthe last year.
