Ex-Formula One driver Brendon Hartley joins Action Express Racing for the upcoming 12 Hours of Sebring.
Earlier this year, Christian Fittipaldi retired from racing at the end the 2019 24 Hours of Daytona. The seat was filled when Brendon joined the American team.
Brendon Hartley after racing in F1 for one season, joined WEC again but this time with SMP Racing instead of Porsche.
The Kiwi driver will join Barbosa and Albuquerque for the upcoming 12 Hours of Sebring. Brendon still remains a part of Porsche factory line-up.
Brendon will race at both 1000-Miles of Sebring and 12 Hours of Sebring.
Action Racing’s manager Gary Nelson said, "With Christian deciding to retire, we needed to find another driver who is fast and a great team player, and Brendon (Hartley) has a great background and attitude that should be a great match with Barbosa and Albuquerque,"
"We've followed Brendon through the years since we first saw him race so well in Grand-Am, so we are glad that it worked out for him to join us at Sebring."
Hartley has achieved a lot in his endurance career and he is still young. With Brendon joining SMP and Action Racing, he can achieve even more.
