Aurelien Panis, son of former Formula 1 driver Olivier, will graduate to the fast and furious Formula Renault 3.5 series next year.
Panis ‘junior' moves up the motorsport ladder after having contested two seasons in Formula Renault 2.0.
“I am extremely determined to attack for this new challenge and I am pleased with the confidence placed in me by the Tech 1 Racing team,” Aurelien Panis said.
“This is a significant milestone for me and I look forward to it!”
The World Series by Renault Formula 3.5 and the GP2 series represent the last echelon before Formula 1.
Aurelien's father, Olivier won just one F1 Grand Prix in his career, but in spectacular fashion. He won the 1996 Monaco Grand Prix behind the wheel of a Mugen Honda-powered Ligier.
