Glock set for iSport switch
Timo Glock is set to switch GP2 teams in time for this weekend's meeting at Silverstone
The former Champ Car and Jordan F1 racer is to move from BCN Competicion to iSport International before this weekend's British meeting, to take the place of Tristan Gommendy.
Glock's place at BCN will be taken by Luca Filippi, who was ousted by FMS International before last month's round at Barcelona.
Autosport.com understands that the deals have already been done and the moves will be confirmed later today.
Glock has had a disappointing start to the season with BCN, scoring only five points, with a best result of fourth in the second San Marino race. Filippi has been looking for a way back into the category since his split with FMS.
The news means that there will have been four driver changes in time for this weekend's meeting.
Toro Rosso third driver Neel Jani is replacing the injured Nicolas Lapierre at Arden, and British F3 title-contender Mike Conway is likewise replacing Oliver Pla at DPR Direxiv.
