Nicolas Prost joins Gravity stable

The 29-year-old Frenchman - son of four-time world champion Alain Prost - is competing in the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup and Le Mans Series with Rebellion Racing this year, and will also drive a Renault Formula 1 car in demonstration events.

"I'm thrilled to have signed up with Gravity Sports Management," said Prost. "I have a busy year ahead and the pace is already hotting up for the start of the ILMC season out here in Sebring. Our pace looked good during the test at Paul Ricard so we'll really hope to make the most of that this weekend.

"I'm also looking forward to the chance to drive the Lotus Renault F1 car during the year. It will be great to get another taste for the very latest top-of-the-range machinery, after the run I did with [the] Renault F1 team in Magny Cours last year. After all, it's fair to say I have Formula 1 in my blood!"

Run by Renault F1 team co-owner Gerard Lopez, Gravity also looks after the careers of Virgin F1 racer Jerome D'Ambrosio, Renault test driver Romain Grosjean and former McLaren AUTOSPORT BRDC Award winner Alexander Sims among others.
