Andrea Caldarelli will take the place of Edoardo Mortara for the 6h of Spa-Francorchamps, the next round of the FIA World Endurance Championship.
In the Ardennes, as has been known for some time, the race will take place over the weekend of 9-11 May, which coincides with the double Formula E event in Berlin in which the Italian-Swiss will have to participate as a matter of priority.
Lamborghini Squadra Corse and Iron Lynx had already stated that Mortara would be replaced by one of the three drivers that make up the crew competing in the IMSA SportsCar Championship and the choice fell on the most experienced of Caldarelli, Matteo Cairoli and Romain Grosjean, this However, the latter is unavailable as he will be in action in IndyCar.
The Abruzzo native is the one who in fact developed the SC63 LMDh from the first metres, therefore perfect to complete the line-up of the #63 with Daniil Kvyat and Mirko Bortolotti, as explained by the technical and Motorsport manager of Sant'Agata Bolognese, Rouven Mohr, in a meeting with journalists held in Imola, in the presence of Motorsport.com.
“Andrea has been with us for a long time, he knows the car perfectly, so he was the perfect person to take Edoardo's place,” Mohr said.
