The Anglo-Swede, who has spent the last two seasons as a BMW driver in DTM, will line up alongside Antonio Giovinazzi and Sean Gelael in the Jagonya Ayam-backed ESM Ligier JS P2, replacing Giedo van der Garde.

Blomqvist, Giovinazzi and Gelael all spent 2014 together as teammates at Carlin in European Formula 3, where Blomqvist finished runner-up in the standings to Esteban Ocon, also beating Max Verstappen.

He has since maintained his links to the Jagonya Ayam organisation despite his BMW tie-up, acting as a mentor to Giovinazzi and Gelael - who made their debuts in WEC last weekend in the 6 Hours of Fuji.

Along with van der Garde, who has also raced in LMP2 for G-Drive this season, the pair finished fourth in class, losing time with an electrical problem and a subsequent penalty for pitlane speeding.

A statement from Jagonya Ayam, however, suggested Blomqvist would be unable to keep his place in the line-up for the season finale at Bahrain due to clashing commitments.

UPDATE: Van der Garde has confirmed to Motorsport.com that he will rejoin the #30 line-up for Bahrain, and that his deal with ESM and Jagonya Ayam only covered two races with an option for a third.
