Jose Maria Lopez has been selected as a reserve driver for the Toyota Hypercar team at the upcoming Le Mans 24 Hours race.
He previously filled in for an injured driver at last year’s event, showcasing his talents on short notice.
Despite not having driven the Hypercar recently, Lopez’s experience and skill make him a valuable asset for the team.
He will undergo testing to ensure he is fully prepared for the race in case he is needed.
Toyota has chosen Lopez over other potential replacements due to his familiarity with the team and the car.
His performance at Le Mans demonstrates why he is considered the best choice for this role.
If Lopez is called up for the Hypercar squad, Yuichi Nakayama is a potential replacement for him in the ASP team.
