Reshad de Gerus and Gillian Henrion, two impressive 21-year-olds from this year’s European Le Mans Series, have been selected as the first drivers for the FIA WEC post-season rookie test in Bahrain. De Gerus will drive a car from the title-winning Hypercar manufacturer, while Henrion will steer Manthey PureRxcing’s championship-winning Porsche 911 GT3 R 992. Both drivers were nominated for the test by the WEC as a recognition of their performances in the ELMS this season. De Gerus is currently third in the LMP2 standings with IDEC Sport. He expressed his excitement for the opportunity and his ultimate goal of racing at the Hypercar level. Henrion, on the other hand, is thrilled to make his debut in the FIA World Endurance Championship and is eager to learn in the GT environment with Manthey PureRxcing. The rookie test has historically served as a platform for young talents to showcase their potential, with previous participants like Shwartzman, Nato, and Andlauer making their mark in the sport.
