British Team Choose Drivers
Rising stars Robbie Kerr and Alex Lloyd have been confirmed as the two drivers for the British A1 Grand Prix team
The decision, which was officially announced on Monday, was made by team boss John Surtees after a shoot-out test at Brands Hatch earlier this year, which included former Grand Prix driver Ralph Firman.
Kerr, the British Formula Three champion in 2002, said: "I am really honoured and pleased to be announced as one of the drivers for A1 Team Great Britain. We have got a tremendous team of experienced people we can call on and I am looking forward to giving it my best shot."
Alex Lloyd, a former winner of the McLaren Autosport BRDC Award, added: "I've been on tenterhooks for the past month, so it was a fantastic feeling to get the call from John confirming that I have been chosen to be one of the two British drivers in the A1 GP series.
"I look forward to flying the flag for Great Britain in all four corners of the world, and I feel very privileged to be a part of this team. With all the elements now in place, we should be a formidable force in the series and what better way to start off the than with the first event at Brands Hatch, one of the greatest venues in motorsport."
