GP2 Grid finalised for 2007 season

With just over a week until the 2007 season of the GP2 Series kicks off in Bahrain, the final seat in the category has been filled, thus completing our full line-up for the year. The  last  remaining  seat  of  the  #19  BCN  Competicion  car  has  been  taken  by  Ho-Pin  Tung,  the 2006 German F3 champion. Ho-Pin will be the first Chinese driver to take part in the GP2 Series and his signing brings the total number of nationalities represented in the championship to 15.

Brazil has the largest representation on the grid with five drivers, as Spain runs a close second with  four  drivers.  Along  with  China,  2007  sees South Africa, Denmark and India  represented in the Formula One feeder category for the first time. Of all the statistics however, it is perhaps most interesting to note that of the 26 drivers who will line up in Bahrain next week, half will be making their debuts in the GP2 Series.
