Dutch-born Chinese driver, Ho-Pin Tung, is being linked with the test seat at Spyker.
The 24-year-old, who tested for WilliamsF1 in 2003, recently made his debut in the A1 GP series, representing China, having previously won the Recaro Formula 3 Cup in Germany, beating Renger van der Zande and Nico Hülkenberg, two drivers who are rapidly making names for themselves. Tung recently tested for Team KTR with a view to participating in the Renault World Series.
Tung's Chinese and Dutch connections, not to mention his ability in the cockpit, could well prove useful for Spyker, a Dutch car manufacturer which, like its rivals, is eyeing the Chinese market.
The team has already named Christijan Albers and Adrian Sutil as its race drivers for 2007.
