Overview
- Sargeant was a late addition to the FIA WEC rookie test entry and is sharing the No. 77 Proton Competition Ford Mustang GT3 with Giorgio Roda, with factory Ford driver Dennis Olsen also turning laps for the team.
- In the morning session at Bahrain International Circuit, he ranked second among LMGT3 runners, just four tenths behind Tom Fleming’s Manthey Porsche, in his first GT outing in four years.
- The WEC rookie test provides five hours of track time split into two sessions across Sunday, offering teams a chance to assess prospective drivers.
- Sargeant recently returned to competition with PR1/Mathiasen in IMSA LMP2, including a fifth-in-class finish at Petit Le Mans after stepping away from a planned ELMS LMP2 program earlier in the year.
- Proton’s broader rookie roster includes American Eric Powell in a Mustang GT3 and Dutch prospect Robert de Haan in a privateer Proton-run Porsche 963, with additional entries named by other teams.
