Marco Andretti to Make Le Mans Debut

IndyCar standout Marco Andretti, son of Michael Andretti, will join Rebellion Racing for this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans, piloting an LMP1 Lola. He will join drivers Neel Jani and Nicolas Prost for one of the team's two entries.

In an interview with Autosport, Bart Hayden said We believe that Marco will fit perfectly with his two co-drivers in the #12 Lola-Rebellion. He has shown that he has the ability to compete at the highest level of motorsport.

"All three drivers in the #12 Lola raced at the same time in the A1GP series, so they know each other from those days. When we get to Le Mans, Marco will be able to draw on the experience of the rest of the guys in the team and we are looking forward to seeing him in the car."

The 22-year-old Andretti will get his first taste behind the wheel of the Lola during a Le Mans Series pre-season test at Paul Ricard on March 7 and 8.
