Former LMP2 driver and Formula Renault 3.5 World Series Vice Champion Vaxiviere joins R-Motorsport
-
Driver line-up with announcement of the sixth seat finalized soon
The former Formula Renault 3.5 World Series Vice Champion is another fantastic driver signing for R-Motorsport, adding to an already very strong Professional line up in the brand’s first assault on Blancpain Pro category since 2011.
Vaxiviere brings a good level of sportscar experience from LMP2 and GT3 and will continue to develop this by having the opportunity to compete in the Blancpain GT series for the first time in his career.
R-Motorsport, the motorsport arm of AF Racing, has one seat still remaining in the two entered Aston Martin Vantage GT3, and will look to finalise this imminently.
R-Motorsport team principal Florian Kamelger said: “Great to have Matthieu in the team. This brings us one more step towards the goal of the perfect driver line-up for this season.”
Matthieu Vaxiviere comments: “I’m really looking forward to start working for this fantastic project. Not only Aston martin has a very rich racing history, I have also been given the opportunity to defend this brand alongside top drivers in a top team. I would like to thank Dr Kamelger and Dr Baenziger for their trust. But also, the people behind Jota and Arden for giving me this amazing opportunity. I will give everything I have got. This year will be extremely competitive and exciting and I hope to be successful for many seasons to come”.
