"At the end of the 2008 season, Peter Mücke invited me to test at the EuroSpeedway Lausitz and the test proved to be a very successful one," revealed the Englishman who started his motor-racing career back in 1999 in kart racing and contested his first single-seater season in 2007. "Mücke is a very professional team and proved to be the only one that had what it took to consistently deliver on the same level as France's ART team, in the 2008 Formula 3 Euro Series season."
Meanwhile, Peter Mücke also was delighted with having signed a second promising young gun for the new season. "I think we will be able to secure podium finishes with Alexander;" said the Team Principal of the squad based in the German Capital that entered the car for the 2008 Rookie Cup winner and finished third in the Team Championship. "And who knows if this competitive rookie won't be able to even celebrate a race win every now and then?"
