GP3 – Nyck de Vries joins ART Grand Prix

Crowned Eurocup Champion Formula Renault 2.0 in 2014, Nyck de Vries had competed in the 2015 season in Formula Renault 3.5 with the DAMS team, finishing 3rd in the championship with a victory to his credit during the final event at Jerez in Spain. The 21-year-old Dutchman will change universe in 2016 by entering the GP3 Series on behalf of the French team ART Grand Prix, which allowed Esteban Ocon to win the 2015 series title. “GP2 and GP3 are certainly the most competitive series, where most drivers want to go and the best school to prepare for the highest level of motorsport, Formula One,” says de Vries. I'm used to a different brake and tire package, and I think the biggest challenge for me will be to make sure I get the most out of the tires in qualifying and race setup. » De Vries joins the Japanese Nirei Fukuzumi, already confirmed by the team.
