Nick Foster has been called up to compete with Eurasia Motorsport in this weekend’s FIA WEC TOTAL 6 Hours of Spa Francorchamps. The Australian takes the place of Daniel Gaunt who is unable to take part, due to travel complications from his native New Zealand.
Nick joins Japanese amateur Nobuya Yamanaka and former Formula 1 driver Roberto Merhi in the #35 Ligier JSP217 for the six-hour event, which takes place Saturday 15 August 2020 and is the team’s first race in the series as they continue preparations for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Currently racing in the I-PACE eTrophy with Jaguar China Racing in Berlin, Nick is no stranger to the team having last competed with them in the 2019-20 Asian Le Mans Series. There he raced alongside Roberto on his way to three straight podiums in Shanghai, The Bend and Sepang and third position in the championship.
Eurasia Motorsport is one of ten entries in the ultra-competitive LMP2 class for the sixth round of the FIA WEC 2019-20 season, with practice getting underway on Thursday, qualifying Friday and the race Saturday.
