Cheshire-based Andy, 27, drove for Gulf Racing UK at the iconic Belgian 24-hour event last year where six hours of heavy rain and treacherous track conditions proved to be one of the most challenging races of the season. Andy shall be the Pro-driver in the team’s Pro-Am category entry 12C GT3 alongside Swiss-based British driver, Mike Wainwright.

“I really am delighted to be joining Gulf Racing UK for 2013,” said Meyrick. “I drove for the team in the Spa 24 Hours last year and am looking forward to competing with them for a complete season. The Blancpain series is the most competitive GT championship in Europe, with an extremely strong grid. I am also excited to be working closely with McLaren, who I hear have made some revisions to the car over the winter, and with my Gulf Racing UK team mates Mike, Rob, Adam and Nico.”
