Former Haas F1 driver Nikita Mazepin will return to racing in the Asian Le Mans Series next month
Mazepin will share an Oreca 07 entered by 99 Racing with factory Lexus driver Ben Barnicoat and bronze-rated Felix Porteiro in the premier LMP2 class of the Asian LMS, beginning with the season opener in Dubai on February 11.
The 23-year-old has only competed in a rally in his home country of Russia in the ensuing period and also launched a foundation to help athletes who have been blocked from competing due to political reasons. 99 Racing will be a part of a nine-car, all-Oreca LMP2 field that will also include entries from United Autosports and Algarve Pro Racing. A total of 48 cars are entered across LMP2, LMP3 and GT divisions.
“With 48 entries, it is once again a highly competitive field. As Ben previously finished runner-up in the Asian le Mans, he will be a key component of us getting up-to-speed as the new team on the block.
