Da Costa gets BMW DTM test chance
Red Bull junior Antonio Felix da Costa will drive a DTM car for BMW this weekend as part of a rookie test.
The Portuguese Formula Renault 3.5 race winner was overlooked for a graduation to Toro Rosso's Formula 1 line-up in favour of GP3 champion Daniil Kvyat for 2014, but Red Bull stated it would continue to support his career.
A return to FR3.5 is not thought to be Red Bull's first choice for da Costa, and as it wants him to be available for F1 simulator work - likely to take place on grand prix weekends - a switch to GP2 is also unlikely.
Red Bull is also keen for da Costa to gain experience of what it considers to be a "professional" series, meaning DTM could fit the bill.
"in the coming week", and he revealed that da Costa and Jens Klingmann will "contest" a rookie test on Sunday.
Klingmann - the 2007 German Formula BMW champion - has been a regular in GT racing in Germany since 2010.
