Lloyd Gets Second Car Chance
Team GBR have confirmed that former McLaren Autosport award winner Alex Lloyd will get a chance to drive during a race weekend
The team's second driver will take part in at least the first of two 40-minute extra sessions to shakedown the teams' seconds car in Friday practice in Estoril this weekend.
Lloyd has previously only tested for the team at Paul Ricard, and has sat on the bench watching teammate Robbie Kerr complete race duties for the British squad.
He will be on standby for the rest of the weekend, while Kerr competes in both races for the team.
Lloyd told Autosport-Atlas: "I'm glad I'll get a bit more track time. As the series goes on it gets harder and harder to work your way in because everyone has that much more mileage under their belts.
"I won't be out there to prove anything, the first 15 minutes will be careful installation work. There might be a chance to push a bit more towards the end, but I won't be on new tyres then.
"But with the second car, I am available to race now if they need me to."
