TATIANA CALDERON IN THE GP3 SERIES WITH JENZER

GP3-Series

 

We are pleased to first announce a new addition to our team: Colombian racer Tatiana Calderon will be starting in 2018 in the number 9 car for us!

Tatiana Calderon, who already has two seasons of experience in the GP3 Series, tested with us at the end of last year in Abu Dhabi and has now decided on another season in the category with our team.

She is set for an equally busy year off-track as well, following the announcement that she joines the FIA Women in Motorsport commission as driver representative as well as the FIA Drivers’ Commission.

Tatiana Calderón: “I’m extremely happy to be racing with Jenzer in GP3 this year. They have a great history in the series; last year they had a really successful season and everything went really well when I tested with them last year. I like the way they work, and I think together we can make a great combination and be very competitive. I’ve also been working really hard during the winter to be as ready as possible, as both the team and I want to be challenging the front-runners. I want to thank Escuderia Telmex and Coldeportes for their support in making this possible, hopefully we can enjoy a really great year together.”

Andreas Jenzer: “I was hoping to sign Tatiana back in 2016 when she tested for us the first time, because we knew we would have a very competitive Team. Now I am very happy Tatiana joins us for the 2018 campaign. I am sure with her experience she will be able to contribute on the technical and driving side. I would say is not that we understand the female-driver situation, which is a bit harder than for boys, but we already proved in the past with other female drivers that have raced at Jenzer Motorsport that we can do a very good work. I am sure we will have a very successful season if we work hard together.”
