23-year old Dani Clos from Barcelona will be team HRT's test driver for the 2012 season. He will be joining Narain Karthikeyan and Pedro de la Rosa. Dani will be testing the car for the third pre-season tests in Barcelona from March 1 to 4. He made his debut in single-seater racing in 2004 in Formula Renault Italia 2.
On his selection, Dani said, I'm very proud to be a part of HRT Formula 1 Team. It is a great step in my career, something that I have dreamt of all my life and, finally, my dream is starting to come true. I'm very impressed with the job the team is doing; they're achieving fantastic things in a short space of time. The team has changed a lot since we met in the Abu Dhabi tests and I think it's a great opportunity and an honor to form a part of this new team. Also, being alongside Pedro de la Rosa is very important for me, since he and Karthikeyan can positively contribute to me becoming a better driver.
