Arjun Maini will participate in the Le Mans 24-hour race on June 15-16 and a full season in the European Le Mans Series (ELMS).

Arjun Maini is all set to broaden his horizons as he joins RLR MSport for the 87th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans on June 15-16 and a full season in the European Le Mans Series (ELMS).

Maini will share the RLR MSport-prepared ORECA with ex-F1 star Bruno Senna and Canadian racer John Farano in the ELMS.

Senna however, will be unavailable to race the Le Mans due to other commitments and will relinquish his seat with his replacement to be announced before February 11.

RLR MSport earned an automatic Le Mans entry by winning the 2018 ELMS LMP3 Teams’ and Drivers’ titles and the Lancashire-based squad has since procured an ORECA 07 LMP2 for its long-awaited return to the French endurance classic.

Talking about his move, JK-Tyre supported Arjun Maini said, "I'm extremely excited to make my endurance racing debut this year. The highlight of the year will surely be the race at Le Mans and I'm hoping I can do my country proud as it is one of the most prestigious events in motor-racing."
