Davide Rigon will be behind the wheel of the 8Star Motorsport’s Ferrari 458 GTE to contest the last round of the FIA World Endurance Championship, to take place this week end at the Sakhir circuit, in Bahrain.

The Vicenza-born driver will take part in the WEC for the fourth time, after taking the second place on his debut race at Interlagos, the fourth place at Fuji and sealing a win in China.

His aim is to take part in the whole 2014 FIA WEC Championship season. Thanks to the success he scored in Shanghai, there is only a 5-point-gap between the team and the front runner, everything will be played out in the race’s 6 hours

“It was great to win in Shanghai. It was my first win in this championship, after taking a win in 2008 in the FIA GT Championship’s 24H of Spa at the wheel of the F430. I feel very comfortable with the car and the team. I’ll do my best even in Sakhir, to help the team win the title.”

The Vicenza-born driver will return to Bahrain four years after finishing third at the wheel of the GP2 Dallara “I took the third place in the GP2 Championship in 2009. I hope to achieve better results. I would like to take part in the Championship next season. It’s a pleasure to drive a GP2 car” says the Minardi Management’s driver.
