New driver for Australia

NEWS STORY
09/02/2006

A1 Team Australia is one of two teams at A1 Grand Prix of Nations, Sentul to introduce a new driver for this weekend's meeting in Indonesia, with Marcus Marshall taking over from Will Davison for this meeting and two of the three other remaining rounds, in Monterrey, Mexico and Laguna Seca, USA.

Marshall arrives in A1 Grand Prix with the experience gained in British Formula 3 in 2004 and then the Champ Car series with the Walker Racing-run Team Australia in 2005 and is hoping that a strong showing will help him secure a second season in Champ Car this year.

"I'm used to the horsepower, as we have 800bhp in Champ Car," said the 27-year-old from Australia's Gold Coast, "but it's great to be back in the cockpit again, as I haven't driven a racing car since last October. It's better still that Sentul is a proper road circuit as I seem to have raced mainly on street circuits of late." His first experience of the 520bhp A1GP car will be in practice on Friday morning.

Brazil has previously revealed that Christian Fittipaldi will replace Nelson Piquet Jr this weekend.
