The former Scuderia Toro Rosso F1 driver will be one of the drivers in action during the five-day test in Spain.

The Spaniard raced in ADAC GT Masters last season, while also competing in the Formula E Championship for Virgin Racing.

Alguersuari will share the first of the team’s two Nissan-powered Oreca O3Rs with VdeV Endurance Series driver Jordan Perroy.

Team owner José Ibanez will drive the second car on the Tilke-designed circuit near Alcañiz, Spain. He will share driving duties with Wolf Racing Cars’ Ivan Bellarosa and French racer Pierre Perret.
