Campos replaces Hilmer in GP3

GP2 frontrunner Campos Racing will join the GP3 series next season, replacing Hilmer Motorsport.

Ex-Formula 1 racer Adrian Campos's team returned to GP2 for 2014 in place of Addax, having been part of the F1 feeder series since its birth in 2005 to the end of '08. Now Campos will also join GP3 for the first time.

"I am pleased to welcome Campos Racing to the GP3 Series," said GP3 boss Bruno Michel. "They have shown their pedigree in GP2 and I'm sure they will be a great addition to the GP3 grid. I'm convinced that thanks to their expertise they will adapt quickly to GP3 and will work hard over the winter to be fully prepared for a busy season."

The Hilmer squad Campos replaces was only in the series for one season, having taken over the planned Russian Time GP3 entry for 2014.

Russian Time had itself taken Bamboo Engineering's entry at the end of 2013, but never made a GP3 race start as the team was re-organized following the death of founder Igor Mazepa.

Campos will make its first appearance in GP3 in the pre-season tests next year.
