Although he is only 23 Friesacher has been racing in Formula 3000 for the last three seasons thanks to backing from Red Bull. He won his first race last year in Hungary and finished fifth in the title race.

Van der Merwe moves to Formula 3000 after a successful 2003 season with the dominant Carlin Motorsport in British Formula 3.
