Former F1 driver Logan Sargeant will make his return to racing in September, having signed up to race in the final two rounds of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
Sargeant will race in the LMP2 class for PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports' and will have his outings at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Road Atlanta.
The American driver departed the F1 grid midway through the 2024 campaign amid a series of disappointing performances.
He was promoted to F1 by Williams from its driver academy the year before, scoring a best result of 10th at the US Grand Prix.
Sargeant was on track to join the Hypercar class in the World Endurance Championship this year, but the deal broke down.
Now, however, the 24-year-old has secured his return to racing, sharing his LMP2 car with team-mates Benjamin Pedersen and Naveen Rao.
“I’m super excited to be jumping back into a car for the last two LMP2 races in IMSA with PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports,” he said.
“It’s a great opportunity to drive at two special tracks, Indianapolis and Road Atlanta, and help push for good results with my teammates Ben and Naveen.
“I’m eager to contribute to a successful couple races for the team, and bring my knowledge and experience to everyone involved.”
Sargeant's first race in the series will be a six-hour endurance race in Indianapolis on September 21.
