Next season Nigel Melker will race for Ocean Racing Technology, in the GP-2 series. The team of former F1-race-driver Tiago Monteiro wanted Nigel to join their team, after his excellent test earlier this year on the Circuito de Catalunya nearby Barcelona. Monteiro was immediately impressed by the fast Dutchman. Nigel has signed a contract for 2012 now!.

"I am really looking forward to racing in the GP2-Series next season. Last season in the GP3 I learnt a lot and gained experience which made me a more complete race-driver. The contract with Ocean was very important for me. The team has a strong ambition to increase the racing level and I believe we can achieve this together. Since the test days in Barcelona, it felt good, we made a lot of progression and achieved good results. I don't have any doubts, I can realize the same next season. I wish to thank the team, especially Tiago Monteiro and José Guedes and my sponsors: Nirint Group, Wellnesselande, RotterdamPoker.com, VS Schoonmaak, Marconi BV and sport marketing office GR8Industries.com."
