Jean-Eric Vergne, the British Formula 3 champion, will join Scuderia Toro Rosso for the young driver test at Abu Dhabi in November.

The Frenchman is part of Red Bull's young driver programme, and his success this year has prompted the energy drinks giant to hand him a first chance for an F1 run in the two-day test that takes place after the season finale.

Vergne is set to step up to the Renault World Series in 2011.

Red Bull has also confirmed that Daniel Ricciardo will drive for Red Bull Racing during the young driver test.
