Toyota Racing is pleased to announce the signing of Mike Conway as test and reserve driver for the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC).
Mike will support the existing drivers in their work and will contribute to the development program of the team’s new LMP1 car, starting to test it from January.

“We are happy to welcome Mike to the team and I am confident he will make a valuable contribution alongside our already-strong driver line-up.” said team president Yoshiaki Kinoshita. “We have followed his career closely for the past couple of years and we see him as an exciting talent with the right attitude to fit in at TOYOTA Racing. He will provide support during our development programme as we work on producing a race-winning car for 2014 and beyond.”

Mike has a strong experience in single-seater racing following three seasons in GP2 and five in the IndyCar Series where he will race again in 2014. This year he was also a front-runner in the LMP2 class of the WEC.
