Andy_Bangle Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Fernando Alonso will race at Le Mans and other selected WEC rounds this year, his McLaren team confirmed on Tuesday. The two-time world champion had been considering taking part in the endurance classic for several months, as he chases his dream of winning motor racing’s ‘Triple Crown’. And following his debut sportscar appearance at Daytona last week, a deal has now been reached for Alonso to race for Toyota in as many WEC rounds as possible. However, McLaren and Alonso have agreed that his priority remains Formula 1 – so he will miss the Japanese event at Fuji on October 21 because it clashes with the United States Grand Prix. Alonso said he was delighted at the opportunity to take part in sportscar racing alongside his F1 ambitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 I think the new car will be better but I'm not going to win in F1 so need something else to keep me busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 I read that there has been a request to re-schedule the Japanese round to allow Alonso to race. I expect the fact that Toyota own Fuji Raceway may mean that there is a chance of it being moved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEC moves Fuji race date for Fernando Alonso, will move forward a week leaving some other drivers rather unhappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
