Team Monaco to join series this year
Team Monaco will join A1GP this season with former GP2 racer Clivio Piccione leading his country into the championship
Piccione will be a joint seat holder for the nation, as well as its driver, alongside Swiss businessman and historic Formula One racer Hubertus Bahlsen.
The 24-year-old Monegasque has previously won races in GP2 and F3 but hasn't raced since his Formula Renault 3.5 campaign in 2007.
"I'm very proud to have been able to put this project together," said Piccione. "I believe this new enterprise will bring a lot of excitement and glory to our country.
"It's a unique situation to be able to take on two roles but I believe it's a great asset for me not just to be the driver, but to have a real involvement with the team structure."
The team will be run on a day-to-day basis by former Super Aguri F1 sporting director Graham Taylor and are supported by Prince Albert II of Monaco, who has backed Piccione throughout his career to date.
