The 26-year old British-Korean driver made his Formula One debut in 2020, and this season, Aitken will step into a Prototype for the very first time.
2021 was a successful first year in the LMP2 class for both Yoluc and Eastwood, as they notched up an overall pole position, class win and multiple podium finishes. They proved pace in both themselves and the Racing Team Turkey Oreca, and now with the addition of Aitken, the TF Sport- run entry will be pushing to claim the Pro Am title.
The first round of the 2022 European Le Mans Series takes place at Paul Ricard, France, where Racing Team Turkey will contest in the 4 Hours of Le Castellet.
All races throughout the season will be streamed live, and for free via the ELMS YouTube channel.
Tom Ferrier, Team Owner - “Now we have a year of running the LMP2 under us, we are confident that we can greatly improve on last season’s results. Jack is a great asset to add to the line-up and alongside Salih and Charlie, I’m sure he can have a successful prototype debut. We were in contention for the LMP2 Pro Am title for the majority of last season and we will be pushing even harder this year to take that fight to the final round.”
Salih Yoluc, Bronze Driver - “I can’t wait to get back into the seat of the Racing Team Turkey LMP2! We had a strong debut season with a race win and podiums, but I know we can improve on that this year! It’s great to bring Jack to the team and with his pace and racing experience, we will be looking for podiums from the off.”
Charlie Eastwood, Gold Driver - “Really happy to be back with Racing Team Turkey. Last year was a big learning curve for us all, with the team and driver line-up in LMP2, versus the GT cars. So it’s great to have a year under our belts and hopefully we can hit the ground running a lot faster than last year, with the experience we’ve now got. It’s a strong line-up and we have a good chance to go for the championship.”
Jack Aitken, Gold Driver - “Delighted to make my debut in both ELMS and LMP2 with Racing Team Turkey this year. It’s something that I’ve been wanting to do for a while and a championship that I’ve been watching. It’s really exciting to be joining Salih and Charlie and to get in a car that clearly has pace, we can definitely compete for podiums and wins. I’m looking forward to getting started and seeing what we can do.” |
