Nov.12 (GMM) Three contenders for a Toro Rosso race seat next year are set to test with the Faenza based team next week.
The Ferrari-powered outfit confirmed that incumbent Sebastien Bourdais, Red Bull test driver Sebastien Buemi, and Japanese veteran Takuma Sato will all appear in the STR3 over three days at the Circuit de Catalunya next week.
"I hope that the highlight of my 2008 is yet to come," Bourdais is quoted as saying in the German press, "because I am waiting to see if I can continue to drive for the team next year."
Bruno Senna has also been linked with the partly Red Bull-owned team, and he will be in action for Honda at Barcelona.
25-year-old Senna, as well as fellow GP2 driver Lucas di Grassi, are believed to be in contention for the race seat occupied in 2008 by Rubens Barrichello.
The veteran Brazilian has therefore been linked with a role at STR.
The test in Spain begins on Monday.
