Couto to test Champcar
André Couto is to test for Dale Coyne Racing in January at Sebring. The Macau F3 winner, who also raced for Prost in F3000 this year, recently had a test with the Nova Team for the Formula Nippon series is Japan
"I'm anxious to take advantage of this great opportunity," said Couto. "The Coyne Team is giving me the chance and I want to execute a professional job to impress."
The initial contact between the Dale Coyne Team and Couto took place last week in Japan, while he was testing the Formula Nippon car: "A representative of the team contacted my father, who was with me at the time, to know if I was available to accept the invitation. My father told them we could talk at a later date, and today they contacted us to confirm the test drive, and our answer was positive.
"I hope to take advantage of all the opportunities. Macau has been very supportive, and I know I can count on them in the future. I don't want to go over my head, or make a quick decision."
