Abdulaziz Al Faisal settling in well at Aston Martin Racing

Saudi driver Abdulaziz Turki Al Faisal was welcomed into the Aston Martin Racing team this weekend. He will contest the 6 Hours of Bahrain in the No.99 Vantage V8 alongside Alex MacDowall and Fernando Rees.

After Free Practice one he said: "It's a pleasure to be part of such a big grid of top teams, drivers and manufacturers. I'm pleased to be a part of it and I'm looking forward to hopefully putting in a solid performance.  The hospitality of the team and the whole atmosphere has been incredible - I'm really enjoying it.

"The WEC is growing year-on-year and exposure is increasing, particularly here in the Middle East. Le Mans is getting more famous by the year and the profile of sportscar racing is growing as well."
