BREAKING NEWS: YELMER SET FOR GP2 SERIES TEST WITH CATERHAM TEAM AIR ASIA.

27-09-2011

Jerez, Spain 27 September - Dutch race driver Yelmer Buurman is set to drive for Caterham Team AirAsia during this week's GP2 test at the track of Jerez. The former Formula One rookie driver of team Force India F1 will perform a one day test at the track of Jerez.

" I am very eager to drive in the GP2 Series car again and I am grateful to Caterham Team AirAsia to provide me with this possibility. My objective is to perform in a consistent and productive manner in order to show potential speed to ultimately achieve maximum result. GP2 Series remains the front portal to the Formula One platform and it would be an excellent opportunity for me to continue to race in these Series to achieve my objectives."

Riad Asmat, Team Principal: “Caterham Team AirAsia has come a very long way in its very short life but today’s announcement is exactly what we are here to do. We want to reward young talent with the chance to develop their skills and the drivers we have taking part in this test are all here on merit. We will make them work – they will be put under the same pressure our race drivers are, and that is the best way for them to learn, so we give them the chance to shine, and I am sure they will repay our faith in them by performing to the best of their abilities.”

Team Manager Phill Spencer: “We are really looking forward to giving all four drivers a decent run in the cars. We have a very busy programme lined up for them at the test in Jerez and we will be pushing them hard to see how they respond, in and out of the cars. All four of the drivers testing with us this week have shown great potential and it will be good to see not only how they perform, but also how they can help us set ourselves up for the Abu Dhabi race, and for next year.”

Yelmer Buurman made his debut in the GP2 Series in 2008 with Arden International with RedBull F1 team manager Christian Horner and contested in 2009 in the Asian GP2 Series with the team of former Formula One driver Tiago Monteiro of Ocean Racing Technology.

This deal is concluded by management agency GR8 Industries. For more information, or requests for exclusive interviews concerning Yelmer Buurman please contact GR8Industries via media@gr8industries.com
