Gachnang targets Campos test
Formula 2 racer Natacha Gachnang is eyeing a test with new-for-2010 Formula 1 team Campos Grand Prix
The 21-year-old Swiss driver - who is the cousin of F1 driver Sebastien Buemi - finished third in the Spanish F3 championship last season driving for Campos and has been in discussions with team boss Adrian Campos about a potential testing role.
"I have been speaking to Adrian Campos about a test drive," Gachnang said. "It is certainly a possibility. He believes in me as a driver after our time together in Spanish F3 last year.
"For me it would be a historic moment to be the next woman in F1 - many people have said it is not possible, so it would be fantastic to prove them wrong. That said, the most important thing for me has always been to be fast - if I am not quick then I will not make it.
"For that reason my main objective this season is to perform well in Formula 2, although the prospect of a test seat with Campos adds a bit of motivation."
