The British driver will pilot an Oreca 07 alongside Salih Yoluc and Charlie Eastwood, replacing Le Mans 24 Hours class winner Harry Tincknell in the team’s line-up.
The announcement follows just under two months after Aitken tested an IndyCar for Ed Carpenter Racing at Sebring and also took part in the post-season Formula 1 test in Abu Dhabi for Williams, the latter as part of his role as the Grove-based team’s reserve driver.
“Delighted to make my debut in both ELMS and LMP2 with Racing Team Turkey this year,” said Aitken. “It’s something that I’ve been wanting to do for a while and a championship that I’ve been watching.
“It’s really exciting to be joining Salih and Charlie and to get in a car that clearly has pace, we can definitely compete for podiums and wins. I’m looking forward to getting started and seeing what we can do.”
