Kunimoto joins Epsilon Euskadi

Japan's Keisuke Kunimoto will has joined Epsilon Euskadi for the remainder of the season, the Spanish team has announced. The 20-year-old will take the reigns for the four remaining races of 2009 in Germany and Spain.

Formula Nippon driver Kunimoto arrives at Epsilon Euskadi with the title of Macau Grand Prix winner 2008 and will be replacing Dani Clos to race alongside New Zealand's Chris van der Drift for the rest of the campaign.

Kunimoto won the prestigious Macau Formula 3 race last year

"I'm very happy to have my first contact with the World Series through such a great and professional team," Kunimoto commented. "They're working very hard on my Formula Renault 3.5 programme. "Epsilon's potential is unbelievable; the human and technological capabilities are extraordinary, opening plenty of opportunities for the future."

As the squad continues to evaluate a Formula One opportunity - the possible buying of the BMW-Sauber team for 2010 - team President Joan Villadeprat is pleased with his latest recuit. "We're very happy to have this talented and young driver in our team," the Catalan commented. "Keisuke's results in F3 and his experience in Nippon this year should help him to quickly adapt to the World Series car."
