Recent Formula 1 driver Will Stevens has secured a return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans for 2017 after being named by JMW Motorsport in its line-up for the famous endurance race.

Stevens made his F1 debut at the 2014 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix before racing through 2015 with Manor, claiming a best result of 13th at Silverstone.

The Briton moved into sportscars for 2016, finishing on the podium at Le Mans with G-Drive and taking LMP2 class victory in Fuji and Shanghai.

Stevens has been racing for Team WRT in the Blancpain GT Series Sprint Cup so far in 2017, but will return to Le Mans next month with JMW Motorsport in the GTE Am class. Stevens will race alongside Robert Smith and Dries Vanthoor in the No. 84 Ferrari 488 GTE at the Circuit de la Sarthe.

The 24 Hours of Le Mans takes place on June 17-18.
