Nicolai Kjaergaard has become the third driver to sign with Carlin for Euroformula Open this year.

The 18-year-old Dane joined Carlin last year for BRDC British Formula 3, where he won five races, and will remain with the team as he moves into international racing.

“It’s fantastic to have signed for Carlin again. I am really looking forward to working with them and continuing my learning curve and results from last year,” Kjaergaard said. “I feel like home within the team and they are very professional in their approach. Therefore, I’m confident that we’ll have another strong season!”

Kjaergaard made his Euroformula debut in last month’s Winter Series races at Paul Ricard, finishing ninth and fifth. Carlin has already signed Christian Hahn and Teppei Natori, and is also looking to add Billy Monger to its line-up for the season.

“It’s great to have Nicolai back with us for another season following what was an impressive year with us in British F3,” added Carlin team principal Trevor Carlin. “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.”
