The collaboration between Brundle and OAK Racing should not be limited to these four events, and the young British driver should very quickly figure in Jacques Nicolet’s team’s other projects.

Jacques Nicolet, President OAK Racing: “I’m delighted to welcome Alex back to OAK Racing. We began working together in 2012 and our relationship has kept getting stronger and stronger as time has passed. I like the guy very much. His excellent sense of team spirit helped him fit in at OAK without problems. Despite his relative youth - Alex isn’t twenty-four yet – he’s already accumulated considerable experience in endurance. In addition, not only is he bloody quick, he’s also an excellent test driver!”

Alex Brundle: “I’m so happy to continue my strong relationship with OAK Racing. At Daytona it was easy to see the strength and depth of today’s American sports car scene and I was determined to race there as part of my 2014 programme , especially in the endurance events. My thanks to the team for including me in their driver line-up in a very competitive car.”
