Former Williams driver Sergey Sirotkin will race in the World Endurance Championship, including the Le Mans 24 Hours in June, for the remainder of the Super Season, organisers confirmed on Tuesday.
The Russian has joined SMP Racing in their #17 LMP1 car alongside compatriot Egor Orudzhev and Frenchman Stephane Sarrazin for the rounds at Sebring, Spa-Francorchamps and Le Mans.
It will be Sirotkin’s second time at Le Mans after competing there in 2017.
He lost his seat at struggling former champions Williams at the end of last season after a difficult rookie campaign in which he scored just one point from 21 races.
Jenson Button, who has driven for the Russian outfit, will sit out Sebring as he has other race commitments in Japan during the same weekend.
