Julien Falchero will remain in the GP3 Series in 2018, having secured a deal to race for Arden.
Falchero stepped up to GP3 in 2017 after two years in the midfield of Formula Renault series, and placed 15th overall in the standings for Campos, with a best race result of fifth.
The Frenchman sampled Formula 2 machinery with Arden during post-season testing in Abu Dhabi, but has opted to join its GP3 squad for 2018.
“We are really pleased to secure Julien for his second season of GP3” said Richard Dent, Arden’s GP3 Team Manager.
“He tested well with us in Abu Dhabi and worked well with the team straight away.
“His knowledge of the circuits and the Pirelli tyres means that we can hit the ground running."
Falchero joins rookie Gabriel Aubry at the operation.
