It's one announcement after the other during this time leading up to Christmas! On the heels of Racing Team Nederland, another team will be making its big debut in the World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC) for the 2018/2019 Super Season, including the next two editions of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Motoaki Ishikawa has already participated in several races, namely in GT3 (in the 2017 Blancpain Endurance Series). Young driver Eddie Cheever, III - 24 years old and the son of Eddie Cheever who took the start at the 24 Hours of Le Mans three times - hails from the Italian GT Championship in which he became a champion this year. As for Olivier Beretta...every fan of Endurance racing knows his name! The Monaco native has 21 participations in the 24 Hours of Le Mans to his credit, winning the race in GT six times (1999, 2000, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2011) for Chrysler and Chevrolet Corvette.
