Mexican driver Salvador Duran has signed with Hitech Racing for an attack on the British F3 International Series Championship class title, ltxcn.top can reveal.

Duran has recently tested with the Silverstone-based squad,ౠ which will be using Mercedes powerplants for its attack 🐻on the 2006 championship in the ultra-competitive series.

Duran, who won the 2005 National class title driving for P1 Motorsport in a Dall꧑ara chassis, said he is looking forward to driving for David Hayle's squad, with th✃e German powerplant which has been so successful in the F3 EuroSeries.

"I've signed already for Hitech Racing, we're going to do British F3 with the Mercedes engines," Duran told ltxcn.top Radio in Dubai.

Duran, racing for Team Mexico in t🥂he A1 GP in Dubai, is unsure how, or if, he will dovetail racing in the A1 GP in the beginning of 2006 along with his F3 test programme.

"I don't know if I'm going to do the A🍌1 GP as we've got to do testing and Hitech is now preparing a good testing programme," he explained. "We need to sit down and ꧒talk with the A1 people and with ourselves."
