WEC / F1 / IMSA – Alonso, a marathon of 27 races?

Today he was the attraction of WEC Rookie Test, organized on the Sakhir circuit, in Bahrain, the day after the closing round of the 2017 season. The Spaniard McLaren F1 Team, which had everything to discover, did not try to panic the stopwatches and ended the day with a best lap completed in 1'43"013, 0"9 behind Sébastien Buemi, which had previously signed a reference time.

But it’s a safe bet that we will see the double world champion at the wheel of a TS050 Hybrid again in the near future. If its presence at the 6 Hours of Spa 2018 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans is more than likely, the person concerned would express the desire to take part in 27 races next year, namely the 24 Hours of Daytona, the 21 races appearing on the F1 calendar as well as the five races of the WEC taking place in 2018. If the desire is there, there are still a few details to settle. But at 36, Alonso don't run out of breath.
