Wilson to continue driving in Mexico

The RuSPORT driver sustained a broken bone in his right wrist at Surfers Paradise three weeks ago, and he travelled the Mexico unsure that he would be able to compete.

"I tried out my car on Thursday morning and everything seemed to go quite well with my wrist," he said. "We tested a couple of different wrist braces and were even able to complete a lap without a brace."

GP2 race winner Adam Carroll is in Mexico ready to replace Wilson if he can't drive, but at the moment the Brit is optimistic about his chances of racing.

"We now have some ideas for Friday and I'm ready to give it another go," said Wilson.

Champ Car's Medical Director Dr Chris Pinderski said: "At this point I am confident that Justin's wrist is well enough to participate this weekend.

"He will, however, be examined after every test and practice session to determine the health of his wrist."

Wilson won the season finale in Mexico last year for RuSPORT. He is third in the standings heading into this weekend, 16 points behind AJ Allmendinger, who is not racing.
