The Superleague outfit has revealed a top Supercup driver and two Formula Challenge recruits will drive the NR006 in the Silverstone test.
Nordsjoen Racing released a statement indicating that Supercup star Agustin Canapino will lead the team's lineup in the Young Driver Test. Canapino will share driving duties with Formula Challenge drivers Oskari Kantonen and Thomas Jacobs.

Canapino, who claimed two wins in four races in this year's Supercup, is not a stranger to the team, having raced with the team's previous incarnation, EIRE, during the 2006 season (two fifth places were his best result).

Kantonen made his Superleague debut in the final two races of the 2013 season, representing Hawkeye. Jumping in the car and scoring points in both occasion helped his reputation, which was already strong following a Formula Challenge campaign that brought him six wins.

Jacobs is a Formula Challenge winner as well, having competed for United Racers, with a total of five podiums in 2013.

"We have a group of very talented drivers and we can't wait to see them in action" said Team Principal Will Ponissi. "The Young Driver Test is a brilliant opportunity for these drivers to show what they can do in Superleague machinery. We at Nordsjoen will surely keep our eyes open in a 2014 perspective."
