The Rocketsports Racing team, which has been participating in the ChampCar World Series championship for several years, offered a test to Alexandre Negrao in Houston.
The Brazilian, a GP2 driver for two years, will participate in tests with the American team tomorrow (Wednesday) and Thursday at the Houston circuit, possibly to secure a full-time position to replace Justin Wilson. The Australian has decided to break his contract, likely to replace Bourdais at Newman/Haas/Lanigan.
« It is a wonderful opportunity for me. I want to thank Paul Gentilozzi and the Rocketsports Racing team for inviting me to participate and try their single-seater. I am very eager to get behind the wheel and see what I am capable of… »
At 22 years old, the young Minardi Piquet Sport driver in GP2 only finished 20th overall with 8 points, but he believes this test will be a good opportunity to gain experience and maybe one day reach ChampCar via Minardi, which is also present in the American championship.
« My passion is driving fast cars, and this test will give me the opportunity to try a new single-seater. »
« It’s a gain for my experience as a driver and may open doors for me in the future… » he concluded.
