Van der Garde to test for Renault

(GMM) Dutch driver Giedo van der Garde is expected to test with the Renault team in Barcelona next week.

The Dutch website f1today.nl reports that the 23-year-old, who last year was involved in a test contract dispute with Spyker and Super Aguri, has won the drive as a prize for dominating the World Series by Renault.

His manager Jan-Paul ten Hoopen would not confirm the news: "Let's just wait and see. Later today there will be a press release with all the details. Then there will be more clarity."
