With Kurt Olsen unavailable to race for the remainder of the season, Giorgioffshore throttleman, Nicola Giorgi, will swap one Norwegian driver for another and rekindle his partnership with Christian Zaborowski for the remaining two Grands Prix and four races of 2009.

Giorgi and Zaborowski teamed up for the first time in the BMW Norwegian Grand Prix in Arendal earlier this year, posting credible top-six times in practice and qualifying, but were forced to retire from the race on lap 5 whilst running in sixth place.  “Christian is a very experienced Class 1 pilot and we struck an immediate rapport when we raced in Norway.  I am confident that we can produce a string of strong performances in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.” commented Nicola Giorgi.

Giorgi’s target in the remaining rounds in the Middle East will be to build on a solid season, which has seen the Italian take a fourth and three fifth place finishes, and to repeat his podium success in Dubai last year.
