Jack Aitken has been announced as Arden International’s second driver for the 2016 GP3 season, joining Jake Dennis.
The British driver claimed the 2015 Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup and Alps titles, before testing Formula V8 3.5 and GP3 machinery over the winter.
He drove for Arden, Status Grand Prix and Koiranen GP in the post-season GP3 test last year and has now been confirmed at the former for his debut campaign in the series.
"After working together once back in 2013, and having become close to all the guys here during the early years of my career, I'm extremely excited to be racing with Arden this year in GP3," Aitken said.
"Having come off the back of a championship-winning year in a very competitive series, I'm keen to not rest on our laurels and take the fight to the next level in GP3."
Julian Rouse, general manager at Arden, added: "We first worked with Jack in 2013 in the young driver test in FR3.5, he was already impressive then and now he has finished his studies and had the chance to fully focus on the racing in 2015, the performance from him has been outstanding in what was a very competitive year in FR2.0.
"We had a very good test in Abu Dhabi as well at the end of the year, it showed Jack is clearly ready to challenge for race wins in his rookie season in GP3 so we are really looking forward to continuing our success with him."
He will drive in GP3 with Arden alongside Dennis, who finished third in last year’s FIA European Formula 3 Championship.
