Two-time Danish Touring Car champion Nykjær, 35, has not raced since 2013, when he scored three wins in the World Touring Car Championship, including the feature races in Marrakech and Austria. He had been in the running for the overall championship as a privateer, before having to sit out the final three weekends due to lack of funds.

Nykjær is joined by World Endurance Championship convert Belicchi, 39, who has raced prototypes for the privateer Rebellion Racing outfit since 2008, winning the Petit Le Mans in 2012. Last season was a difficult one for the Italian, as poor reliability meant it took until Fuji in October before his crew finished a race, leaving them with an unbridgeable deficit to overcome in the second half of the season.

Meanwhile, another SEAT outfit, Zengő Motorsport, have signed 18-year-old Ferenc Ficza as their first driver. The Hungarian scored a single win at Silverstone and finished sixth in last year’s SEAT León Eurocup.
