IMSA SportsCar Championship squad Heart of Racing will make its World Endurance Championship debut at Spa this weekend as Aston Martin stalwart Paul Dalla Lana steps back from competition.
The HoR team won the IMSA GTD class title last year with Roman de Angelis, and took class victory in this year's Daytona 24 Hours ahead of the leading GTD Pro crews with its Aston Martin Vantage GT3.
James said: “The Heart of Racing team has had ambitions to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the FIA WEC for some time. The Canadian won the GTE Am drivers' world championship crown in 2017 and claimed 17 class wins from 69 starts. “But the racing always had to stop at some point, and for me, that time has been coming for a while now.
