Indianapolis(March 15, 2007) –

2007, direction les Etats-Unis ! Je viens en effet de signer avec le team Condor dans le championnat de Champ Car Atlantic. Un championnat très relevé où la bataille fait rage, comme j’ai pu m’en apercevoir lors des 4 séances de tests que je viens d’effectuer, avec à chaque fois le meilleur temps et au final un nouveau record sur le circuit difficile de Laguna Seca. C’est aussi le seul championnat où l’on peut gagner un prix de 2 millions de dollars afin de courir directement en Champ Car. Je suis fier de rejoindre le team Condor qui m’a préparé rapidement une très bonne voiture pour les tests de Laguna Seca. Je suis vraiment impatient de me retrouver à Las Vegas pour l’ouverture de la saison, le 8 avril, et de tout faire pour que e team soit sacré. Je voudrais également remercier CJ Motorsport qui a croit en mes capacités et m’a permis de poursuivre mon rêve ! Rendez vous le week end du 6-8 avril !

 

His first time competing in a Champ Car Atlantic machine was magical. Now, Franck Perera will get a chance to make magic all season long with Condor Motorsports.
Perera, a 22-year-old native of Montpellier, France, has reached a contract
agreement to compete with the Condor team in the 2007 Cooper Tires Presents
The Champ Car Atlantic Championship Powered by Mazda. The announcement
comes on the heels of Perera's dynamic Atlantic debut last week at Champ Car Spring
Training in Monterey, California, and it immediately makes the talented racer a top
contender for this season's series title.
The fab Frenchman paced all four testing sessions (two on each day of the
test) and unofficially shattered the series track record several times at the
2.238-milecircuit before finally posting a final quick lap of 1:16.067
 (105.917 mph) while testing for the Condor team.
"We're all very excited and happy to welcome Franck to the team," said
Carlos Bobeda, owner of Condor Motorsports, which captured the 2005 Champ
Car Atlantic

"I am first of all delighted to be able to continue to expand my racing career
in the USA in the very competitive Atlantic Series.  It's the only
championship in the world which offers such unique prize money with direct
access into Champ Car.

will race the #11 car sponsored by CJ Motorsport - a London-based
consulting firm representing driver and sponsorship management - for the Condor team
>this season. "Atlantic is the only championship in the world which offers
such unique prize money with direct access into Champ Car. I am proud to join
Condor Motorsports, who put together a great car for me in the Mazda Raceway Laguna
Seca testing days and allowed me to be immediately competitive in the sessions.
I can't wait to start the series and hopefully help Carlos and the team get their crown back. I would also like to thank CJ Motorsport, who believes in
my potential and has allowed me to continue to follow my dream."
