Charlotte, North Carolina --
FIRST Motorsport have announced in a press release that Stefan Klien will serve as the team's test driver for 2018. Here are the official statements from the team principal Adam Blocker and Stefan Klien: Adam Blocker (FIRST Team Principal): "I am pleased to announce that we have promoted Stefan Klien from our youth academy to be the team's test driver for this season. Stefan had a promising debut season in the VWRS last season, finishing 5th in the championship but was only 16 points behind the champion [Yoshida]. His role as test driver will mainly involve getting experience in our simulator and helping the team build setups there. He will also be competing in the VWRS series again this season, where I expect him to challenge for the title again." Stefan Klien: "FIRST promoting me to test driver for this season is really encouraging. It shows me that my hard work in the junior series is being noticed and that I have a chance at a seat in Formula Virtual one day, especially given how willing FIRST are to put young drivers into their race seats. I look forward to getting more involved with the team this season, and hopefully taking on more and more responsibilities as the season goes on. I would like to than the team for selecting me to be in their youth academy to begin with and now for giving me this opportunity."
