Super Nova Racing has announced that Andy Soucek (right) will replace Christian Bakkerud & join the team for the balance of the GP2 2008 season.
A persistent back injury beset Christian during last week's test at the Paul Ricard circuit in France. Reluctantly after advice from his doctor, the Dane wisely decided to take time out to fully recover before deciding on his racing future. The whole team would like to wish Christian all the best & a speedy recovery.
Team Principal David Sears: "The Super Nova team are extremely sad that Christian Bakkerud has been forced to stop through his injury, and hope he gets better quickly. We would also like to welcome back Andy Soucek, who has already showed great form with the team in Istanbul. We believe Andy is a real charger, & will immediately be on the pace. We are all looking forward to him completing the rest of the season, & fighting at the front of the field for the championship."
