Isotta Fraschini hires Alonso academy driver as it reshuffles 2024 WEC line-up

Isotta Fraschini has reshuffled its driver line-up for its first season in the World Endurance Championship, with both Carl Wattana Bennett and Antonio Serravalle joining the team.

Nineteen-year-old Bennett, a member of Fernando Alonso's driver academy, has been signed to take the place of 2023 European Le Mans Series champion Alex Garcia, who was originally listed alongside Jean-Karl Vernay as the first two drivers for Isotta's assault on the Hypercar class of the WEC with the Tipo 6 Competizione LMH.

The Thai-American driver competed in both Spanish F4 and Formula 4 Brazil last year, scoring a podium finish in the latter series with Oakberry Bassani team.

He is currently taking part in the LMP2 class of the Asian Le Mans Series with Duqueine, the French outfit that has replaced Vector Sport as Isotta's factory team in WEC.

"I am thrilled to announce my partnership with Isotta Duqueine for the highly anticipated World Endurance Championship season in 2024," he said.

"This collaboration carries a profound significance for me as I proudly represent Thailand on the global stage of motorsports. 

"Joining forces with Isotta Fraschini and Duqueine Team is a realization of a lifelong dream. 

"I am committed to giving my absolute best. Together with Isotta Duqueine, I am confident that we will achieve great things together."
