Christijan Albers visited Jordan Grand Prix's Silverstone factory this week for a seat fitting in preparation for testing on 1 December in Jerez, Spain.
The 25-year-old Dutchman will begin Jordan's first test session since the end of the 2004 season and the team will test for an additional three days in Jerez until 4 December with an interim chassis and 2004 spec Cosworth engines. Drivers for the remainder of the test will be announced shortly.
Eddie Jordan said, "Christijan is a quick and committed up-and-coming talent, as we've seen in German F3 and this year in DTM. We have a mutual sponsor in Trust so we have been watching his career with interest. I have wanted to test him for some time so I am glad that the opportunity has finally come - it's an exciting time for all of us."
