With just one week to go for the start of the Auto GP Season at Monza, scheduled for the 23rd and 24th of March, Riccardo Agostini is ready for a new challenge in the Coloni 3.4 litres cars Series.

The legendary track will host the first of 2013 eight rounds, the only one in Italy and the Padua-based driver, who will race for Dutch MP Motorsport team, after having scored the Italian F3 title last year, aims for more glory. Hell hit the track for a testing at Adria next Monday-Tuesday, driving for the first time the new single seater. Just a couple of days to take familiarity with the car before flying to Monza.

For Agostini 2013 will be his third racing Season, after two years in the Formula Abarth - in 2011 he was the best Italian in the European Series - and a fantastic 2012 in which he won the Italian F3 title with the JD Motorsports Mygale.

The Monza round will be followed by Marrakech (7/4), Hungaroring (5/5), Silverstone (2/6), Zandvoort (14/7), Nrburgring (18/8), Donington Park (1/9), Brno (6/10).
