In fact, we can announce virtually exclusively to Dominic Storey will be one of the pilots of the Barwa Addax to the GP3, season which will begin the next week in Turkey. Precisely for this reason, Jordi Pons, Pons Racing team principal, commented that he does not believe that New Zealand again in the season.
The own Jordi Pons made clear his desire to keep Vernay until end of year, but it is aware of the contract for the French with Peugeot. In addition, Pons recognizes that you be seen his performance during this weekend, which implies that the speed of Vernay will be important to decide whether it stays or not.
Vernay hoped to run in the IndyCar in 2011, after winning the Firestone Indy Lights, but not got enough money and signed by Peugeot as a pilot reserve to the 24 hours of Le Mans. In any case, the Pons Racing team says that face Monaco, have several pilots interested in running with them, as well as options there will be many.
