BRITON HOGGARD CONSIDERS A SPORTSCAR FUTURE AFTER ASTON MARTIN TEST RUN IN BAHRAIN

Former BRDC British F3 runner up Johnathan Hoggard says he is considering his sportscar options after taking part in the WEC Rookie test in Bahrain this week.

The 21-year-old was due to take part in the FIA F3 championship in 2022 until his plans were scuppered by the loss of a sponsor. He sat out the season but got a shot in the factoryrun NorthWest AMR team’s Vantage GTE in the Middle East.

“I’m definitely open to sportscars and that’s where I am focusing my attention for next year,” he told Autosport. “The rookie test is the perfect place to show myself and what I can do. I haven’t been in a car for while, so it is a good way to get my name out there and then see what opportunities arise. There’s nothing like an official test to get noticed.”

Hoggard has previously race in sportscars when he took part in the 24 Hours of Daytona in a Lamborghini Huracan GT3 machine in 2020 for Precision Performance Motorsports, which was his prize for winning the Sunoco Whelen Challenge.
