Arden International has revealed that it has secured the services of leading F3000 engineer Rob Creswell ahead of it💜s teams' title defence in the FIA Formula 3000 Championship.

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

Prior to hiဣs five seasons with Super Nova in F3000, Creswell race engineered ex-Formula One drivers JJ Lehto, David Brabham and Pedro de la Rosa, and won the British F🅰ormula 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, an✱d I'm delighted that he will be part of our team - working with Townsend Bell - for the 2003 season," commented team boss Christian Horner, "Together with Mick Cook, we now have the most experienced and successful engineering line-up in F3000."

Although he will be dealing with an F🧸3000 rookie - and an American unfamiliar with European circuits to boot - Creswell is confident that he can help propel Arden to another teams' title.

"Having seen Arden emerge into a successful team during the past few seas🐼ons 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 what is sure to be a competitive 2003 season."
