Welcome to the picturesque Circuit Mont-Tremblant for round 7 of the 2008 Champ Car World Series. Defending winner Robert Doornbos is back to take another win.
“This was the race that we really knew we had a fast car at Minardi. Hopefully a year later, we can continue and on the podium and get the win for the first time this season.”
Paul Tracy will also be trying to score his third straight pole and second straight win at a course that saw him struggle last season.
“I like this course, but it doesn’t fit my style. We worked on learning the setups and I think we got a grip on the car."
The race will be the first for the Carlin Motorsport team. Piloted by Italian Giorgio Pantano, the team is not expected much from their Champ Car debut.
“If we even finish the race, I think we will be happy,” said Carlin Motorsport Principle Trevor Carlin. “We decided to bump up our entry to the series to avoid running a rookie driver on a street circuit.”
Returning to the Rocketsport car after missing Cleveland is Antonio Pizzonia, who lost his seat after Q1 last week to Jos Verstappen, who crashed and ended up costing the team it’s winnings after missing the post race press conference.
