I feel like home within the team and they are very professional in their approach. Therefore, I'm am confident that we will have another strong season!”

Carlin Team Principal Trevor Carlin added:

“It’s great to have Nicolai back with us for another season following what was an impressive year with us in the BRDC British F3 Championship. He proved to be an exciting racer to watch and he gave a good fight as he battled for the wins all season long. I look forward to continuing our strong relationship and can’t wait to see what he can achieve this year.”

Infinity Director Harry Soden echoed:

“I am really happy that Nicolai and Carlin are continuing their relationship for another season and see no reason why it can’t be as successful as the last one. I think the Euro Series is a fantastic opportunity for Nicolai to spread his wings in Europe and compete on some of the best GP circuits around”

The Euroformula Open Championship will see Nicolai take to the track for nine round, on some of the most famous tracks in the world. Taking on circuits where he benefits from experience such as Silverstone and Spa, the series will also poses new challenges in the form of current Formula One venues in Hungary, Austria and Italy.
