Fernando Alonso's Toyota test confirmed

Fernando Alonso will test a Toyota LMP1 car in Bahrain on Sunday, representing his next step towards a drive at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Alonso is aiming to win motorsport's unofficial Triple Crown by adding victories at Le Mans and the Indy 500 to his two wins at the Monaco Grand Prix. Although Alonso's participation at next year's 24 Hours of Le Mans has not been confirmed, Sunday's test is expected to be the first step towards a drive with the Japanese manufacturer next June.

He will drive this year's TS050 HYBRID, which took won Sunday's race in Bahrain by a lap over the nearest Porsche.
