American nine-times IndyCar race winner Colton Herta will compete in next year’s Formula Two championship with Hitech while continuing as a test driver for Formula One debutants Cadillac, the General Motors-backed outfit said on Tuesday.

Cadillac confirmed Herta in September as their Formula One test driver, with his move to Formula Two marking a return to European single-seater racing as he seeks the super-licence points required to compete in Formula One.

"This is an amazing opportunity to develop my skills in European racing and to measure myself against some of the best young drivers in the world," Herta said in a team statement.

"Racing on the same weekends as Formula One will give me first-hand experience of that environment and help me grow as part of the Cadillac F1 family.”
