New role at Gazoo Racing for Alex Wurz

Last month’s Six Hours of Bahrain, in which Alex finished on the podium, was his final race behind the wheel. He will move into a new position as advisor and ambassador for the team. He will assist with driver and team development as well as promoting TOYOTA’s hybrid LMP1 technology at the race track and beyond. Already during his time as a driver with the team, Alex has made a substantial contribution in each of these areas.

Alex will continue with various other activities, including his work in Formula 1, the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association, as well as his track design and driver training business. Today’s announcement extends Alex’s career at TOYOTA by at least two years and recognises the significant place he has in the team’s history. He was the first driver signed to the WEC project in late 2011, going on to take the team’s first pole and victory in the Six Hours of Sao Paulo in 2012 prior to playing a major role in the 2014 manufacturers’ World Championship title.
