van der DRIFT lands OLYMPIACOS drive

Chris van der Drift will make his Superleague Formula debut at Silverstone next month after securing a drive with Olympiacos for 2010. The car will be prepared by GU Racing who have been responsible for running the FC Basel 1893 and Olympiacos entries since the series launched in 2008. van der Drift was a good match for reigning Superleague Champion Adrian Valles when the pair were (Formula Renault 3.5) team-mates at the beginning of last year, so expect some strong results from the New Zealander. For van der Drift's sake I hope Olympiacos ditch their habit of changing drivers mid-season.
