Germany's Julian Theobald joins Formula Two this weekend at
Brands Hatch, with the German pilot sampling the F2 car for the
first time in official testing on Tuesday 13 July ahead of his race
debut on the weekend.
Theobald has extensive experience in single seaters, having
first raced in the Formula König series in 2002, and has raced
in a variety of championships including Formula Renault 2.0 Germany
and the Formula 3 Euroseries Trophy class - which he won in 2006,
claiming a superb six wins and nine podiums from the nine
races.
After that success, Julian moved into Formula Renault 3.5 with
the EuroInternational squad. He stayed in the championship the
following year, switching to the Fortec Motorsport squad - although
he was only able to contest four races.
Theobald's participation in F2 follows a season on the sidelines
in 2009, but the 25-year-old German was able to get to grips
quickly with the Williams JPH1B F2 car in official testing at the
circuit. He will be looking to build upon that experience and
spring a surprise at the Kent venue as he makes his race debut in
Formula Two.
