Red Bull-backed Dan Ticktum will make his GP3 debut at Monza this weekend with DAMS, in place of Matthieu Vaxiviere.
Vaxiviere competed at the Hungaroring and Spa-Francorchamps, in the wake of Santino Ferrucci’s graduation to Formula 2.
Ticktum currently holds seventh place in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 standings, having made his full-time return to racing this season, having served a one-year ban for an MSA Formula incident in 2015.
“It is an incredible opportunity, having never driven the car, however, only having 45 minutes to get used to a car with 200bhp more than what I'm used to will certainly be a challenge,” he said.
“That’s what racing is about! A huge thanks to everyone who has enabled me to get to this position in my career, particularly Red Bull and my family.”
