A1 Team Italy has displayed its new colours ahead of the first weekend of the A1GP Powered by Ferrari car era.
The team unveiled their driver line-up and new 600bhp car to the media at a launch event in Milan.
The team confirmed that Edoardo Piscopo will return to the squad having been capped 14 times for the team, and this season will be joined by Euroseries 3000 racer, Fabio Onidi.
“When A1GP was born four years ago I immediately understood that I could launch new drivers in a very important world competition,” said seat holder Piercarlo Ghinzani, who brought in Piscopo last season when he was a relative unknown.
The red, green and white livery marks a change in style for the team, who went with the national sporting colour of dark blue for the first three seasons of A1GP.
“This car is very different from the one I was driving last year,” added Piscopo. “It’s much better performing in the engine, handling and braking. I was immediately impressed by the ‘lightness’ of it – it will let us take more risks during the race and that’s good for the show.”
The team has yet to confirm who will race at Zandvoort this weekend, with both drivers set to be present in the Netherlands.
