Alonso has already agreed with Toyota to race for them at Le Mans, sources revealed to BBC Sport more than a week ago, and he may also do more races in next year's WEC, as long as his McLaren Formula 1 commitments are not compromised.
Toyota have never won Le Mans but as the only team set to compete in the blue riband LMP1 category next year, this is a great opportunity for Alonso to complete the next stage of the elusive motorsport "triple crown" of Monaco Grand Prix, Le Mans and Indianapolis 500.
And for Toyota the presence of such a major star in their line-up guarantees huge interest and positive publicity for a race that might otherwise be billed as one they could only lose.
