Giebler to join Team USA for Dubai
Former French Formula Three race winner Phil Giebler is to join A1 Team USA for the Dubai round of the A1 Grand Prix series
The American will take the place vacated by Indy Racing League front-runner Bryan Herta, who is not scheduled to return to the series until next spring.
"It's a real honour and privilege to be able to drive for A1 Team USA, and I am excited to represent my country in this exciting new racing series," said Giebler. "I've been following this series since its inception, and I was ecstatic when I got the call to come drive for A1 Team USA."
Giebler is confident that he will be able to make an impression on his debut, even though some drivers have much experience of the series.
"Over the past few years, I've raced against at least 25 percent of the drivers in the series and on many of the same tracks that we'll be racing in the A1 Grand Prix," he added.
"This is still a new series, so no one team should have a leg up on us due to experience. With the team that is already in place for A1 Team USA, I am confident we can go out there and score points in Dubai."
