Akkodis ASP Team has formally confirmed its plans to compete in the FIA WEC in 2024 with a pair of Lexus RC F GT3s.
If its entries are accepted for next season, the new effort, which was previously teased by RACER, would coincide with the French team’s 25th anniversary season.
During the past quarter century, Jerome Policand’s team has claimed more than fifty championship titles and intends to step up to a world championship for the first time. In recent years Akkodis ASP has been a key Mercedes-AMG customer team, competing across Europe with the AMG GT3 platform.
Lexus becomes just the fourth brand that the team has worked with over the last 25 years, the other four being Renault, Porsche, Ferrari, and Mercedes.
The news comes as ASP begins tire testing with Goodyear at a two-day test in Portimao, along with seven other prospective LMGT3 manufacturers.
