Gutierrez, who raced for Sauber in 2013-14 and Haas in 2016, will drive Inter Europol’s LMP2 ORECA-Gibson 07 alongside team regulars Alex Brundle and Kuba Smiechowski in the six-round WEC.
The Mexican is returning to active competition for the first time since 2017 after four seasons focussing on his roles with Mercedes, which straddled F1 and Formula E.
He is replacing Renger van de Zande, who was teamed with Brundle and Smiechowski in the last year’s WEC.
Gutierrez, 30, said: “It is an honour for me to return to racing in this competitive and prestigious series.
“Endurance racing is a new challenge for me, [so] I will focus on learning as much as possible and as soon as possible.
“A thank you to the team for the opportunity to have me race together with Kuba Smiechowski and Alex Brundle: with the team’s progress and our combined ambition, I am confident we will make an excellent team.”
