The Arden GP2 team are delighted to confirm that former Karting champion (European Junior ICA) Charles Pic will join the team for the 2010 GP2 European and Asia Championship.
The talented Frenchman (19) is graduating to GP2 having achieved multiple race wins, pole positions and podiums in the Renault World Series Championship, finishing 3rd overall.
GP2 Head of Race Engineering, Richard Dent:
"The Arden team are delighted to have signed an agreement with Charles Pic for Europe and the remaining GP2 Asia races. Having tested with the Team at Jerez last year and raced at the final Abu Dhabi GP2 Asia round, Charles stood out amongst the various drivers that we have tested. With a lot of rookies entering GP2 for 2010 we believe that Charles has the ability to be a front-runner in his debut season. "
Charles Pic comments:
"I am very happy to be joining the Arden team who have a proven track record in GP2. Racing in the final three GP2 Asia races gives me the opportunity to work closely with the team and prepare fully for the European season. Its going to be a busy year and I can’t wait to get started.”
