Nyck de Vries joins Toyota’s 2024 WEC line-up

De Vries, reserve driver for Toyota from 2020-2022, will drive the #7 Hypercar for what has become one of the WEC’s top teams competing against the likes of BMW, Porsche and Ferrari. He’ll also compete in next season’s Formula E for Mahindra Racing. 

The Dutchman’s spell in F1 ended after a series of poor results for AlphaTauri saw him replaced with Australian – and fans’ favourite – Daniel Ricciardo.

De Vries​ said: “I am super excited to be returning to endurance racing, especially with Toyota Gazoo Racing. Endurance racing is something that I have always enjoyed, and it is a discipline with incredible momentum at the moment. I was with the team in a different role for a few years but never got the chance to race, so it is great that the time has now arrived, and I want to thank the team for their continuous support and faith in me.”
