Apr.3 (GMM) Promising young Belgian driver Frederic Vervisch will make his formula one test debut later this year.

Thanks to an agreement between the Asian F3 engine supplier TOM'S (Toyota) and the F1 team Force India, the 21-year-old has secured a November winter test as a reward for winning the title.

It is believed that other promising drivers will also get tests with Force India at the end of the 2008 season.

"This is part of our continuous search for young new talent in Asia," a Force India spokesperson confirmed.

Vervisch will contest the German F3 series this year with the Swiss Racing Team, which is headed by the former Sauber F1 engineer Othmar Welti.
