Pla signs with Super Nova
F3 Euro Series front-runner Olivier Pla has signed to race for Super Nova Racing in next year's Formula 3000 championship
The 22-year old Frenchman has set himself the goal of learning the tracks and the cars next year, before challenging for the title in 2005.
"I am very happy and proud to sign with such a prestigious team as Super Nova Racing and with such an experienced team manager as David Sears," said Pla. "I am really happy with the confidence that the team are giving me as I have worked very hard to get here.
"It is my desire to learn as much as possible with the team during the first year and maybe even win some races and then I aim to go for the title in 2005."
Sears said: "We are very happy to welcome Olivier Pla into the team. I'm sure we can develop him into a future Formula 1 driver."
Pla finished third in the F3 Euro Series this year, driving for the French ASM team. In 2002, he finished third in the French F3 championship, and also took victory in the Korean Super Prix event.
