As I mentioned briefly in the previous post about Franck’s successful outing at Long Beach, it looks like FKM had a confirmed Champ Car drive for 2009.
Before the race, he said:
It was disappointing to have a deal three weeks before the season, and then nothing. But we’ve kept very close with Forsythe and we have [...]
I can only apologise for not posting this news immediately, it is definitely worth a blog post or two!
In his one and only Champ Car race, Franck managed to finish 2nd with an inspired drive. But let’s start at the beginning.
It appears that Franck had a confirmed Champ Car drive, which is why he lined [...]
It looks to me like Franck is going to debut and finish up his Champ Car career in one and the same race.
According to this story, Franck is one of 13 drivers confirmed to appear at the Grand Prix of Long Beach.
I was not aware of this, and I’m finding it hard to find out [...]
As pointed out by Steven Roy in the comments, Forsythe Racing have announced they won’t be competing in whatever championship the Champ Car/IRL merger turns out to be.
I don’t know about Franck, but I was kinda pinning my hopes on him getting that drive. Now we have simply the Le Mans thing to look out [...]
Well, that may be an exaggeration, but the former Formula 1 driver has been saying some nice things about our favourite Frenchman.
It also looks like there’s no shortage of talented drivers staying in and coming into Champ Car. The Sebring test demonstrated something I’ve known for a long time – that Franck Montagny is every [...]
The news doing the rounds at the moment is that IRL and Champ Car are getting back together. I can’t pretend to understand this fully, because I’m a newbie, but I get the idea. The two used to be part of the same series but split apart a while back.
Going their separate ways obviously hasn’t [...]
Is it just me or does the Official Champ Car Website leave a lot to be desired?
Half of it is out of date – the driver bios only go up to 2005. Which is now three years ago. At least the event schedule and the news is up to date. But there should be more [...]
On the first day of testing for Forsythe Pettit/Racing, Mr Montagny topped the timesheets. I’m told this is not his first time in a Champ Car, but that’s still pretty impressive.
The top five of Day 1:
1- Franck Montagny, Forsythe Pettit/Racing, 50.788 seconds, 118.304 mph
2- Oriol Servia, PKV Racing, 50.856 seconds, 118.145 mph
3- Justin Wilson, Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing, 50.927 seconds, [...]
Hello everyone, welcome to the I <3 Franck blog.
The mean old man over at Sidepodcast won’t let me talk about Champ Car (even though they have sidepods too!), so I’ve created this blog to worship at the feet of my new favourite CC driver: Franck Montagny.
I say my new favourite CC driver as if I [...]
