Narain Karthikeyan has been confirmed at HRT for 2011, five years after he was last in F1. He was left without a race seat in 2008, having served as a Williams test driver for two years. This year he will return to the sport in a car that is partnered with Williams, using the rear end of their car, along with Cosworth engines.

You may be able to spot a Tata logo in the photograph, there's one on the arm of Alex Wurz. The group sponsored Narain and brought their dollars to Williams, helping fund promotional filming days as pictured above. Now Tata follow Karthikeyan back into F1, bringing much needed funding to HRT.

Between his two F1 stints, Narain tried his hand at several other series, including sportscars in Le Mans, the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, and A1GP. F1 has always been his aim, though, and now he is back on the grid - eagerly looking forward to his home race, the inaugural Indian Grand Prix in 2011.
