GP3 race winner Patric Niederhauser (22) joins Arden to contest the 2014 GP3 Championship.

The Swiss driver has two years GP3 Series experience in his tenure, securing two race wins, in Valencia and Hockenheim and six podiums. His faultless performance during end of season testing proved that he would be an asset to the team for the upcoming season.

Julian Rouse commented: “Patric is a proven race winner in GP3 and working with him in Abu Dhabi in November highlighted to everyone at Arden that he has what it takes to challenge for the championship in 2014. Even though we only worked together for one day during the testing the relationship between Patric and the team was very strong and now we need to focus on developing this further in the pre- season testing.”

Patric Niederhauser said: “After a great post-season test day in Abu Dhabi I am extremely happy to drive for Arden International in the GP3 Series 2014. It will be my third year in GP3 so my goal is to fight for the Championship. It will be an immense pleasure to work with them and I’m looking forward to a new chapter in my career.”
