NASCAR: Yvan Muller to contest one-off race in Euro Racecar series

By ,

Three-time World Touring Car champion Yvan Muller will make his oval debut during the fourth round of the Euro Racecar championship presented at Tours, July 7.

The Frenchman, who leads the provisional WTCC standings, will drive a Chevrolet Camaro powered by a 5,7 litre V8 engine developping 450 horses under the colours of team Still Racing, managed by Eric Helary, the reigning Euro Racecar champion.

"After 33 years of racing, I'm still learning new things, so I'm very happy to be part of this experience," said Muller.

"I join the series as a rookie and will have everything to learn about oval racing. I don't know a great deal about it so I'm free to embark in this adventure without pressure."

Muller will also contest the Le Mans Classic that same weekend, a race that features cars that made history at Le Mans.
