Negrão set for Formula Renault 3.5 return

24 September 2015 – GP2 driver André Negrão will return to the Formula Renault 3.5 Series for this weekend's penultimate round of the championship at Le Mans.

Negrão, 23, will re-join International Draco Racing, the squad with which he raced between 2011 and 2013, collecting two podiums en-route to a best of 10th in the standings.

Negrão has raced in GP2 since the start of 2014 though currently occupies a lowly 21st in the standings, having failed to score a point since the opening round of the season.

Negrão will form a one-car team for the upcoming round, with regular Draco drivers Pietro Fantin and Bruno Bonifacio absent from the entry list, meaning the series is down to 19 cars.
