Arden Intern꧅ational has revealed that it has secured the services of leading F3000 engineer Rob Creswell ahead of its teams' title defence in the FIA Formula 3000 C♏hampionship.

Creswell joins the team from leading rivals Super Nova, where he engineered Sebastian Bourdais to the 2002 drivers' title ahead of Arden's luckless Tomas Enge. Creswell will be respܫonsible for engineering theꦕ car of recently-signed American driver Townsend Bell, under the leadership of director of engineering Mick Cook.

Prior to his five seasons with Super Nova in F3000, Creswell race engཧineered ex-Formula One drivers JJ Lehto, David Brabham and Pedro de 💖la Rosa, and won the British Formula Three Championship title with Mika Hakkinen and West Surrey Racing in 1990.

"Securing Rob's services to join the Arden team is something we've been working on for a little while, and I'm delighted that he will be part of our team - working with Townsend Bel♍l - for the 2003 season," commented team boss Christian Horner, "Together with Mick Cook, we now have the most exper💮ienced and successful engineering line-up in F3000."

Although he will be dealing with an F3000 rookie - and an American unfamiliar with European circuits to boot - Creswell is confident that he can help proﷺpel Arden to another teams' ti🔴tle.

"Having seen Arden emerge into a successful team during the past few seasons convinced me that this is the right place to further my career," he said, "I am really looking forward to working with the team, and with Townsend, in wh🔯at is sure to be a competitܫive 2003 season."
