Loïc Duval at G-Drive in Bahrain

He had left the WEC last year at the end of the 6 Hours of Bahrain, an event which he won in the No. 18 Audi R8 alongside Oliver Jarvis and Lucas di Grassi. Remaining faithful to the brand with the rings, Chartrain is now rife in DTM.

But on November 18, the winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2013 will make its return to the World ChampionshipEndurance. Indeed, the 35-year-old Frenchman is expected in the No. 07 Oreca 26 of G-Drive Racing alongside the Russian Roman Rusinov and another Habs, Léo Roussel, already requisitioned this week for the 6 Hours of Shanghai. As a reminder, Loïc already knows the 07, having driven the DragonSpeed ​​one at the last 24 Hours of Daytona.

This is a valuable reinforcement for the Russian team, which has not achieved the expected results this year.
