ClearRoute is thrilled to share our new partnership with Paul Di Resta. The former F1 driver and now acclaimed elite endurance racer takes on seven epic races over the season, with a 1000-mile opener on March 17th.
Who is Paul Di Resta?
Paul Di Resta is a British racing driver who drove for Force India from 2011-13 and Williams-Mercedes in 2017. He is now focused on the WEC 2023 championship.
In 2016, Di Resta became a regular contributor to the Sky Sports F1 channel. He was a common presence as a co-commentator, analyst and one of the insiders in “Sky Race Control” during practices, qualifying sessions and races alongside Jenson Button, Karun Chandhok, Anthony Davidson, Damon Hill, Nico Rosberg and Johnny Herbert.
