Grapevine: Liuzzi to compete in Czech enduro
Force India Formula One test driver Vitantonio Liuzzi will turn his hand to endurance racing this weekend when he takes part in the second round of the International Circuits Championships of the Czech Republic at Most
Liuzzi, who hasn't competed in a race since last year's Brazilian Grand Prix, will drive one of the Charouz Racing System Mercedes AMG DTM C-Klasse cars in the three-hour race on Saturday.
"I am looking forward to the Most race," said Liuzzi. "It will mean several firsts for me. For the first time, I will try this Czech circuit, and I have never to date driven a DTM series car.
"I was happy to accept Antonín Charouz's offer to start for his team. I know Charouz Racing System is a good team, I know that they will offer me to drive a perfectly prepared Mercedes Benz AMG DTM C-Klasse.
"I have heard that the Czech Republic's International Championships are attractive and of good quality. I believe I will have a good race and a lot of fun on Saturday's three-hour event."
Liuzzi will be joined in the car by Jan Charouz, Antonin Charouz and Vaclav Nimc, while the identical sister machine will feature former F1 driver Tomas Enge, Stefan Mücke as well as Antonin Charouz and Nimc, who will swap between cars.
