Ex-F1 test driver Robin Frijns in frame for WRT Audi GT drive

Frijns, who won the Formula Renault 3.5 title in 2012, will try one of WRT's fleet of Audi R8 LMS ultras over the course of the two-day official Blancpain Endurance Series test at Paul Ricard on Wednesday and Thursday.

The 23-year-old Dutchman will be joined at WRT by former Peugeot LMP1 reserve driver Jean-Karl Vernay over the course of the test.

WRT team boss Vincent Vosse explained that both drivers were under consideration for drives in the BES and the sister Blancpain Sprint Series, which together make up the 'GT Series'.

"We will do the tests and then try to find agreements with them for this season; I hope we can do something together," Vosse told AUTOSPORT.

WRT will run four Audis in the BSS and four in the BES, with the exception of the Silverstone and Nurburgring rounds when it will field three cars.

It has yet to formalise its line-ups across the two series and is aiming to announce its full roster of drivers on March 26.

Team regular Frank Stippler and Briton James Nash are confirmed for the BSS, as are former Le Mans 24 Hours winner Stephane Ortelli and GP2 race winner Stephane Richelmi, who contested three end-of-season races with WRT last season.

Audi factory driver Laurens Vanthoor, who won the 2014 'GT Series' title and the 2013 FIA GT crown with the Belgian team, is expected to be part of its line-up and will take part in the test this week.

Porsche Carrera Cup France racer Sacha Bottemane will also drive a WRT Audi at the test.
