2017 Sauber Formula 1 development driver Tatiana Calderon is moving to Jenzer for the 2018 GP3 season, her third in the series.
The 24-year-old switches to the Swiss outfit after completing Abu Dhabi’s post-season testing with it last December, having 61 laps with its Dallara machinery after one previous day with class leaders ART.
Calderon has raced 33 times so far in the category, claiming four points-scoring finishes.
The Colombian started her GP3 career at Arden two years’ ago, with 10th-place results at Germany and Italian feature races, before going to DAMS in 2017.
A seventh and one eighth-place finish followed at Italy’s feature and Jerez’s sprint.
“I’m extremely happy to be racing with Jenzer in GP3 this year,” Calderon said.
“They have a great history in the series: last year they had a really successful season and everything went really well when I tested with them last year.
“I like the way they work, and I think together we can make a great combination and be very competitive.
“I’ve also been working really hard during the winter to be as ready as possible, and I want to be challenging the front-runners.”
Team owner Andreas Jenzer added the move is one two years’ in the making.
“I was hoping to sign Tatiana back in 2016 when she tested for us for the first time because we knew we would have a very competitive team,” he said.
“Now I am very happy Tatiana joins us for the 2018 campaign.
“I am sure with her experience she will be able to contribute to the technical and driving sides.”
Calderon is the 13th driver to be named for a 2018 team, and the first for Jenzer.
The opening pre-season test takes place at Circuit Paul Ricard on February 21-22.
