Adrian Zaugg joins Trident Racing in GP2 Asia Series

Trident Racing is proud to announce the agreement reached with Adrian Zaugg. The 23 year-old South African will race with the Italian squad next week at Al Sakhir, Bahrain for the third round of the GP2 Asia Series.

This round could mark the return of Zaugg to the GP2 Series with Trident in 2010.

Adrian Zaugg : “The deal with Trident Racing represents a great opportunity to me, and also a positive message to all my sponsors and supporters that enabled me to get this chance. It won’t be easy to be back on an open-wheel car after several months and a GP2 car after 2 years, but I’m running with no pressure, and I’ll be calm and ready to give the maximum at Al Sakhir. I’ll have to find the right feeling back, straight out of the box, but I’m not a rookie so I’m quite confident. I trust the team, the technical staff, and I think we really have a chance to give a positive spin to the 2010 season. Physically, I’m sure I’ll perform at the top since I never stopped my training program and I’m in good shape. I hope this weekend will convince who is supporting me to continue...”

Luca Zerbini, Managing Director : “We’ve been working on the Zaugg ’project’ for quite some time, and I’m pleased that Trident Racing was entrusted by the staff working on Adrian’s career. It won’t be easy for him to find the right moves and the right feeling in just 30 minutes of free practice at Bahrain, but I’m sure that Zaugg will prove his talent, the one that he expressed only partly during the recent years. I hope this will become the first step of a longer relationship, aimed to bring Adrian to enter the 2010 Main Series with Trident Racing.”
