Road Racing at its Best

After an exciting 8th place finish in the Rolex Sports Car Discount Tire Sunchaser race (Way to go, Uri!), Servia heads into the Champ Car Grand Prix of Road America hosted this weekend in scenic Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. A favorite track to many of the drivers, the 4.048-mile course at Road America has been compared to many of the great F1-style tracks abroad, boasting numerous elevation changes and sweeping turns along with a mix of straightaways that provide a great setup for passing in the corners.

Another significant note is that Champ Car’s new Panoz DP01 will be on display this weekend at the track for fans to get their first glance, up close and personal.

Another group joining Champ Car and the Atlantics at the track is the Champ Car Rotax Kart Challenge. These karts will be running my home track at the Briggs and Stratton Motorplex with prefinals running on Friday and finals being hosted throughout the day on Saturday. So stop by the motorplex in The Carousel (Turn 10) to check them out!
