Dragon Racing, the Los Angeles based motorsports team, has today announced the signing of former Formula One driver Jerome d'Ambrosio to compete in the new all-electric FIA Formula E Championship.
The 28-year-old Belgian began go-karting aged eight before quickly rising through the single-seater ranks on his way to his Formula One debut with the Virgin F1 Team (now Marussia).
In doing so he became only the third Belgian in the history of the sport to complete a full season in F1, after well-known racing drivers Jacky Ickx and Thierry Boutsen.
Following this, d'Ambrosio moved to the Lotus F1 Team as a reserve driver for 2012-2013, taking part in the 2012 Italian Grand Prix. More recently, he signed with Bentley for their return to endurance racing and is now looking forward to beginning the Formula E season.
"It is with great excitement that I will be at the wheel of the Dragon Racing entry in this historic first season of the Formula E Championship," said d'Ambrosio.
"I have watched the Dragon Racing organisation closely over the last few months and feel that together we can achieve great results during this first season."
The signing of d'Ambrosio leaves just three driver places remaining for the 2014/2015 Formula E season with China Racing yet to reveal their line-up, along with the second seat at Andretti Autosport.
