Italian Vitantonio Liuzzi and Austrian Christian Klien will press their claims for a return to the Formula One starting grid when they test for Force India in Spain next week.
The Indian-owned team, formerly Spyker, said in a statement on Saturday that the two racers would join German driver Adrian Sutil at Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya on Nov. 14 and 15.

Klien will take part in the Barcelona test, driving for Vijay Mallya’s newly minted F1 squad.
Liuzzi is looking to remain in F1 after leaving Scuderia Toro Rosso following the Brazilian Grand Prix. His spot next season will be taken by four-time Champ Car champion Sebastien Bourdais.
Liuzzi has said his first option is to remain in F1 and he had been linked to a possible ride with Williams, before they opted to sign rookie Kazuki Nakajima.

The team will use two of the Ferrari-powered former Spyker F8-VII chassis in their new interim burgundy red and white colour livery.
