Ryan Briscoe must be pretty excited, not just because he gets to audition for a possible Champ Car job by driving for RuSport in place of the injured Cristiano da Matta, but because his debut will come in his native land of Australia.
"Because my official start will be in Surfer's Paradise, it will be a very special race for me," said the Aussie. "It's been my goal since the beginning of the year to race in Champ Car, and I'm with a top team, so it's a really exciting opportunity for me. I'm hoping we can get off to a quick start and get some good results right away."Do you think Dreyer & Reinbold knew his goal "since the beginning of the year" was to race Champ Car?
I think Jeff has Champ Car fever. Pretty sure DRR either didn't care or was fine with Briscoe's Champ Car aspirations. They needed a road racer and he delivered a bronze for them, so everyone is happy.
