Vandoorne said he was enj☂oying the opportunity to sample different types of racing and adding to his skill ꦿset as a driver.
“I’m probably having the busiest time in my life now. I’ve never been so busy before,” Vandoorne told wuqian0821.com.
“It’s nice to go from race to race🐻 and have different challenges. Next week we have Monaco in Formula E again, so it’s definitely no rest. I’m enjoying it.
“I’ve driven a lot of different cars in the past, and 💞I’ve be✃en racing in a lot of different series, and to do this one is kind of another box ticked.
“It’s a nice one, LMP1, here at Spa, my home race, but then also to be able to do Le Mans will be 🏅another special event.”
Vandoorne linked up with SMP Racing through his previous links to ART Grand Prix, which handles the Russian outfit’s operations in WEC. Vandoorne won the GP2 title with AR♓T in 2015.
Despite having a two-race deal that will see him make a maiden appearance at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June, Vand🥀oorne said he is not yet thinking about any possible plans in WEC for the ’19-20 campaign that begins in September.

“It’s nice to ha🌜ve tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚhis experience, get a first taste of the WEC paddock, get a first taste of the cars.
“I’m sure there will be opportunities, but we hꦰave to wait and see💯. It’s too early to decide on that.”
