And finally OAK Racing announced the driver lineup that will drive the No. 35 Ligier JS P2 on this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans in June, and as expected due to the contribution that Nissan is giving on the Onroak Automotive new LMP2 challenger, we'll see an almost all-GT Academy lineup on it.
Alex Brundle, OAK Racing driver in TUDOR United Sportscar Championship and development driver of the Ligier JS P2, will have as partners the russian Mark Shulzhitskiy, the winner of the 2012 Russian edition of the Sony-Nissan backed program GT Academy and Nissan's Ligier JS P2 development driver, and british Jann Mardenborough, winner of the GT Academy competition in 2011 and now competing in GP3 for Arden International.
Shulzhitskiy had a previous experience with LMP2 machinery with Greaves Motorsport Zytek in 2013 6 Hours of Shanghai, when he achieved 5th place in the LMP2s and 9th overall.
Mardenborough had a previous experience with Greaves too, but he entered in 2013 24 Hours of Le Mans, grabbing a 3rd place in LMP2 category and 9th overall.
I just expect that Mark and Jann to help Alex and make all racing gamers happy with a good result, and hope to see more GT Academy action in FIA World Endurance Championship.
