Team Canada confirm Carpentier
A1 Team Canada have confirmed that Patrick Carpentier will represent his country in round 9 of the inaugural series at Monterrey, Mexico
The Canadian will also race for the team again in round 10 at Laguna Seca, where he won the Champ Car race in 2004.
"I'm really excited to be representing Canada in the A1 Grand Prix Series," said Carpentier. "I'm grateful to Wade Cherwayko for the offer to join the Canadian team and to Mecachrome for allowing me to compete in Mexico and the USA.
"I won my last race at Laguna Seca in Champ Cars in 2004, I love the track and I know some of the other quick guys from the IRL are going to be representing their countries that weekend - it's going to be a lot of fun!
"I've raced a couple of times at Fundidora Park in Mexico as well so again I know the track and can take the time to get used to the A1GP car. I have to say the A1 Team Canada car looks amazing and I can't wait to start racing it next month."
A1 Team Canada Franchise holder Wade Cherwayko, added: "My objective from the very start for A1 Team Canada was to bring together both the present and the future of Canadian motorsport.
"Patrick represents the present and I'm delighted that he shares our vision for the team along with Sean McIntosh, one of Canada's leading young talents."
