After claiming victory at Silverstone on Easter weekend, James Walker has confirmed he will remain with the G-Drive/Delta-ADR LMP2 squad for the remaining six-hour races on the World Endurance Championship schedule, starting this weekend at Spa.

Walker, 29, has secured a deal to continue with the team for all the races bar the Le Mans 24 Hours after taking a class victory on his prototype debut at the Silverstone WEC opener earlier this month.

The arrangement means G-Drive/Delta-ADR heads into Spa with the same line-up of Walker, team regular Tor Graves and ex-Formula 1 driver Antonio Pizzonia that claimed victory aboard one of its pair of ORECA-Nissan 03s at Silverstone.

James, who secured a Formula Renault 3.5 win at Spa in 2009, said: “After the win at Silverstone I was really keen to put a deal together to stay on with G-Drive Delta ADR. The WEC will be visiting some fantastic circuits all over the world and this weekend at Spa will be one of the best. The circuit is in the top three of my list and I’ve been very lucky to have had some great results there in the past.

“After the pole position and the win last time out we are leading the World Championship and even at this early stage we need to think about the points. I’ll be very happy if we can come away with another solid result.”

Delta-ADR team boss Simon Dowson said: “James impressed us greatly at Silverstone. He didn’t have any proper running beforehand, he had limited running in the dry in practice and qualifying and was then put out in a pressure situation in the race, but he showed both pace and maturity.”

Remaining circuits on the 2013 WEC calendar which James will be competing at include: France, Brazil, United States, Japan, China and Bahrain.
