Pastor Maldonado set for sports car seat

Pastor Maldonado could be set to get his race career back on track in sports cars.

Pastor Maldonado could be set to get his race career back on track in sports cars.

Since losing his Lotus/Renault race seat at the end of last year, the controversial Venezuelan has not had a prominent role apart from some Pirelli tyre testing.

However, it now emerges that the 31-year-old could be drafted into the lineup of the Manor Motorsport team, headed by former F1 team chief Graeme Lowdon, ahead of the forthcoming six-hour world endurance sports car race in Mexico.

"We are waiting to confirm the third driver - it could be Pastor Maldonado," Alfonso Toledano, an LMP2 driver, is quoted as saying by Brazilian sports car publication Bonga Sat.

"The team is making a decision now so we'll have to wait."

Maldonado also represented Williams during his time in Formula 1.
