Luis Razia to Make GP2 Debut for FMS International

Fisichella Motor Sport International have secured the services of Luis Razia for the upcoming season of the GP2 Main Series. The 20-year old Brazilian driver, currently competing for Trust Team Arden in GP2 Asia, will therefore make his debut in the European series alongside experienced GP2 driver Andreas Zuber.

What that means is that Razia will actually return to the team for which he used to race in the Euro 3000 Series two years ago. Driving for FMS International, the former South American Formula 3 champion managed a 3rd place overall in the European series.

His debut in the GP2 Series happened during the 2008 Chinese GP, in the Asian Series. Having started for Arden in 7 races so far, he highlighted a 6th place at Losail earlier this month.

“During the post-season tests in Paul Ricard I had an opportunity to test with them for one day and immediately sensed a good feeling with the team and the car. I believe that with FMSI I will improve quickly and I hope to soon be challenging for point scoring positions and podiums on a regular basis. My intention is to take full advantage of the fact that I am racing in such an experienced team with an experienced teammate,” said Razia.

“Luiz is now with us and we have a dream team. We have the experience of Zuber and the young talent of Razia, a team principal could not ask for more. We have been following his progress in Euro 3000, and he has grown over two years to deserve a place in GP2. He has shown great speed in the GP2 Asia Series and we count on this to score lots of points for FMSI this year. Never in the history of our team in GP2 have we had such a strong driver combination,” insisted team principal Paolo Coloni.
