Senna joins Oreca Le Mans team

Bruno Senna

Having missed out at a chance for a seat in the Brawn GP F1 team, Bruno Senna will be racing at selected events for the Oreca Le Mans Series outfit during the 2009 season. Nephew of three-time World Champion Ayrton, Bruno has already enjoyed a positive test in the car at Paul Ricard. Senna will share the car with Stephane Ortelli, with team-mates Nicolas Lapierre and ex-Formula 1 driver Olivier Panis, as the team combines 'youth with experience'.

Brazilian Senna will be taking part in selected events only, which include the Barcelona 1000km and the legendary Le Mans 24 Hours, for which two additional drivers will be announced by the team.
