Team First Centreville joins Speedcar Series
Team First Centreville is the latest squad to be added to
the growing ranks of the new Asia and Middle-East based Speedcar
Series.
Fabien Giroix, driver and team manager, was attracted to
the competition by his friend Jean Alesi, whom he competed
with in championships like Coupe Renault 5 and Formula 3000
in the past. Alesi, together with a number of former-F1 drivers,
have announced they will take part in the championship.
Team First Centreville will run cars 17 and 71 in the championship,
which will begin later this year.
Fabien Giroix said: "I have always wanted to join this
kind of Nascar-style championship, where the enjoyment of
the spectator is more important than the technology of the
cars. Motorsport is growing in the Middle East and Asia, and
it's fantastic to be part of this championship."
Giroix will announce his team-mate for the championship shortly.
Battistino Pregliasco, Speedcar Series Team Manager, added:
"Speedcar is gaining interest throughout the racing industry,
and we are delighted to announce Team First Centreville as
the second team joining the series in the last two weeks."
