(Reuters) -American nine-times IndyCar race winner Colton Herta will compete in next year’s Formula Two championship with Hitech while continuing as a test driver for Formula One debutants Cadillac, the General Motors-backed outfit said on Tuesday.

Cadillac confirmed Herta in September as their Formula One test driver, with his move to Formula Two marking a return to European single-seater racing as he seeks the super-licence points required to compete in Formula One.
