The trio will share driving duties at the wheel of a SEAT Leon Supercopa, backed by SEAT Belgium, in the endurance race which counts towards the Belgian Touring Car Series.

"The challenge of racing at Spa is tremendously appealing since it's one of the world's best circuits," Gene said.

"It will be a pleasure to team up with Jacques Villeneuve; we have known each other since the years we spent racing in Formula 3 and recently he was my brother Marc's team-mate at the Le Mans 24 Hours.

"Our goal is to have fun - and possibly win our category."
