Autosport has learned that the Gelael family is moving its funding from Jota to the Belgian WRT squad, which is expanding its WEC programme to two ORECA-Gibson 07s in 2022.
Former Formula 2 driver Gelael will be one of the drivers, though it is not yet clear whether friends Vandoorne and Blomqvist will again join him.
WRT boss Vincent Vosse would only confirm that the team had filed two WEC entries ahead of the closing date on Friday, but insisted he had yet to finalise the driver line-up in either car.
“We are still working with the Gelaels and we hope to confirm drivers in the next few weeks,” he told Autosport.
Vosse outlined a hope for Robin Frijns and Ferdinand Habsburg, P2 co-champions last year with Charles Milesi, to remain part of the WEC set-up for the new season.
“We are working on that and I hope it will be the case, but it is not something I can confirm yet.”
