Former Marussia F1 Team driver Max Chilton has joined Carlin
Racing in America as the team aim to make the move into the Verizon IndyCar
Series.
In a joint project with Trevor Carlin, who he raced for in
the GP2 and the British Formula 3 championship, Chilton will assist the team
with its preparations for a move into the Indy Lights Series, the feeder
category to the IndyCar.
Chilton will then aim to use what he has learnt in 2015 with
the Indy Lights preparation to make his debut with Carlin in the Verizon
IndyCar Series.
The Englishman, who competed in 35 Grand Prix events with the
Marussia F1 Team will take part in a test programme with Carlin driver Ed Jones
at the Homestead Miami Speedway Road and Oval course in preparation for the teams’
debut this year.
Chilton is excited to be helping Carlin with their
preparations to race in America and is still considering his options with
regards to his own future. Chilton is hoping to help Carlin get the most out of
their first season competing in American open wheel racing.
