Angolan Andrade has agreed a deal with Spanish outfit Drivex to contest the 2019 Euroformula Open season with one of their Dallara-built F312 cars

Drivex has just announced its first driver for the 2019 Euroformula Open season. Angola's Rui Andrade has been confirmed to join the Drivex line-up for contesting the pan-European Formula 3-based racing series. Following his promising single-seater debut last year in the Formula 4 Spain, Andrade will take a significant step up in his motorsport career competing onto world-famous race tracks. The Angolan driver already carried out several private tests and will continue putting experience inder his belt ahead of the season start.

"I expect to learn a lot this year with Drivex and get faster and faster after each round of the championship. I believe the team is very good in bringing out a drivers development so I will be looking forward to working hard to improve with the team and have a good season. I know it is going to be very hard but with hard work anything is possible." said Andrade. The Angolan young ace underlined: "I’ve been watching Formula One races at these legendary tracks ever since I was a kid so it has always been a dream of mine to some day race at these tracks. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to race at these tracks alongside Drivex in the upcoming season and look forward to growing with the team in order to get the best results possible."
