“I’m really excited to be entering the World Endurance Championship with Jackie Chan DC Racing x Jota and expand my racing career into prototypes for the first time,” said King.

“The team have shown that they’re a dominant outfit, winning races and with both cars in the hunt for the championship.

“I’m sure there is a lot for me to learn from the team as we enter the final three races of the Super Season together.”

Having already committed to the Indy 500 this year, the 24-year-old will now race at two of the world’s biggest sporting events in a single calendar year and cannot wait to get under way.
