Tristan Gommendy will partner Neel Jani at PKV Racing, it was confirmed
on Thursday at Laguna Seca.
The Frenchman will get his first miles in a Champ Car on Friday as
Spring Training commences. The decision ends Oriol Servia's hopes of
retaining the ride which he occupied last year, and in this year's first
test at Sebring.
Gommendy commented: "I'm really looking forward to testing. Everything
will be new for me like it was for Neel at Sebring, but it's not the
first time I have gone into a championship with everything new, so I
hope it will be good."
PKV co-owner Jimmy Vasser said: "I only met Tristan this morning, but he
has raced well in many different types of open-wheel car, and everyone
I've spoken to has said he's fast.
"There were a lot of candidates for this ride, including Oriol, but it
didn't work out. We didn't move quickly in getting Neel a partner
because we needed the right person. We believe we have that."
Team co-owner and series co-owner Kevin Kalkhoven stated: "We wanted
someone who was fast enough to keep Neel on his toes because he was only
third fastest in Houston testing! We believe Tristan will do that."
Gommendy, who won the 2002 French Formula 3 championship, and the Macau
GP, finished fourth in the World Series by Renault last year with a win
and 14 other podium finishes.
