DSC sources within Greaves Motorsport have confirmed that Nathanael Berthon will fill its final seat for this month’s Le Mans 24 Hours, replacing Polish driver Kuba Giermaziak who had to depart from the team due to issues with sponsorship.
Berthon was spotted by DSC’s editor in discussion with Jacob and Tim Greaves at the paddock during last weekend’s Test Day between sessions. The Frenchman was original slated to drive in G-Drive Racing’s Oreca, before the team elected to replaced him with Manor driver Will Stevens for the 24 hours.
At the test, Jon Lancaster, who drove for the team in 2015, was aboard the Ligier JSP2 with Memo Rojas and Julien Canal, though a drive for the race proper didn’t come to fruition for the young Brit. Giermaziak meanwhile, also doesn’t have a seat for the big race lined up.
DSC expects full confirmation tomorrow morning from the team.
