Pescarolo Sport has revealed the finalised line-up for the Dome S102.5 that it will field in the Le Mans 24 Hours.

The French team will run the Dome at La Sarthe alongside its Pescarolo 03 Judd, with Nicolas Minassian and Sebastien Bourdais having already been confirmed as part of the driver line-up.

Dome has now confirmed that the line-up will be completed by Seiji Ara, who will be competing in the La Sarthe classic for the sixth time.

"Dome is highly regarded by the press and the French public, they deserved highly skilled drivers," Henri Pescarolo said. Dome absolutely wanted a Japanese driver, a logical and legitimate choice, and it is an honour for us to welcome a former winner of the 24 Hours of le Mans in our team."

Ara won't be available to compete in the Dome when it races in the Spa 1000km due to commitments in the Japanese Super GT series.
