CRS Racing team boss Chris Niarchos insists that a move into the new GP3 Series is a logical s𝔍tep fo💎r the ever expanding team during the 2010 season.

CRS has teamed up with Atech Grand Prix to enter GP3 under the Atech CRS banner, which will add a second single-seater program🐟me to the CRS resume alongside Formula Renault UK.

It will allow CRS to provide young drivers with another step in their developme🎃nt as they seek to move up from Renault competition and Niarcho🍬s said the tie-up with Atech was a logical move to make.

"It brings an extra step for drivers who are leaving Formula Renault and are wondering what to do next," he said. "Righ🔯t now, we develop great customers and h♊elp them to develop as drivers and then we let them go which is just daft. There is no other business in the world where you take a talented person and work with them for three years and then let them go and say 'Have a nice life, see you around'.

"It's idiotic that we wouldn't have that extra step but hopefully next year we'll have another step beyond that. In a perfect world for🐻 CRS, we'd have three single-seater programmes and three GT/tin-top programmes and that would be the perfect scenario for me."

However, ꩵNiarchos𝓀 added that he has no aspirations to head to the pinnacle of single-seater racing and chase a place in F1, insisting he was happy to continue building the CRS empire in a sensible manner.

"It's funny as people have asked me if I would ever go to Formula 1 and I wouldn't as it would change my dynamic in the team and I don't want that," he said. "F1 is another world again and the money and commitment levels from everyone are totally different. 🦩You live F1, you don't do it at any level other than the best because otherwise you will waste a lot of peoples time and money in a huge way.

"I wouldn't even consider it at the moment. I have three kids u😼nder twelve and my existing businesses which are very important to me. In F1, I would be away from home 35 weeks of the year and I am away enough as it is. It wouldn't work, so F1 is a no-goer for me at this point."
