Not that I'm saying he is good, but he's not crap only in the Asia series, and that was because Kobayashi is Asian, which helps him because you get extra money if your an Asian driver and win something, plus it's good for publicity |

Turvey to drive for iSport Autosport wrote: Oliver Turvey is to step up to GP2 next season with iSport.
Formula Renault 3.5 racer Turvey, who won the 2006 McLaren AUTOSPORT BRDC Award and currently lies fifth in the Renault championship for Carlin Motorsport, will race for frontrunning squad iSport in the forthcoming GP2 Asia Series, ahead of a full year in the main series next season. iSport took Timo Glock to the 2007 GP2 title, and won three races with Giedo van der Garde this year. Turvey tested for the team at the recent three-day Jerez GP2 test and set the seventh fastest time. The 22-year-old's career is funded by the Racing Steps Foundation, which has also announced that it will continue to back fellow Britons James Calado and Jack Harvey. Formula Renault UK runner-up Calado will race in British F3 with top team Carlin, while Jack Harvey will complete a second season in the F1-supporting Formula BMW Europe series next year, with Fortec Motorsport. RSF founder Graham Sharp said: "Both Oliver and James have consistently demonstrated their exceptional talent and I have no hesitation in extending RSF support to them in 2010. "Again we have chosen top teams to partner in this initiative and we look forward to working with iSport in GP2." |

There's more tests in Paul Ricard in 10-12 November. Ocean will test the following drivers: Charles Pic, Christian Vietoris, Nelson Panciatici, António Felix da Costa and another one to be confirmed. I think for Felix da Costa this is just to give him some experience as the kid's still a bit young to move to GP2... Now Vietoris would be a great signing for the team. Leimer did great the last tests in Jerez too. |

Panciatici again? Oh, no! About the second ART car, I would put a relatively experienced but not awesome driver (Roldan, Villa, Chandhok) to have the role of being the "stupid old man that sets up the car and loses to his young and brilliant teammate". |

Bird to drive for ART in GP2 Asia Series Autosport wrote: Sam Bird is to join ART for the GP2 Asia and the Macau Formula 3 Grand Prix.
The 22-year-old Briton will line up alongside ART's F3 Euro Series champion Jules Bianchi for the Asia series opener in Abu Dhabi and then join Bianchi and Masters winner Valtteri Bottas in the French squad's Macau line-up. "I am thrilled about this opportunity to drive for ART," said Bird. "We have come close to working together several times in the past but, for a number of reasons, it never quite happened. "But there is a reason for everything and perhaps our time to shine together is now. I really want to thank [team boss] Frederic Vasseur for putting his trust in me and offering me this opportunity of a continued collaboration." Bird is currently fifth in the Euro Series for Mucke Motorsport, although he has yet to take a victory in the championship. "Sam was very close to joining our team at the beginning of this season, and despite competing against each other, we have maintained an excellent relationship," said Vasseur. "We would like to end this season with wins at Abu Dhabi and Macau and we believe that Sam will be a major asset in our attempt to reach our objective.". |
