Jimmy Vasser has confirmed that he will make a return to open-wheel
racing for the Long Beach Grand Prix later this month.
Vasser will run in a third car for the KV Racing Technology team in
the final race for the
Champ Car World Series, with the event taking place on the same
weekend as the IndyCar Series event at Twin Ring Motegi.
While Oriol Servia and Will Power will both aim score points towards
the IndyCar Series title race as drivers making the transition to the
newly unified American open-wheel series, Vasser admitted he was
simply looking forward to the event, which will signal the official
end of Champ Car competition.
"I been out of the car for two years, but it will be a lot of fun and
a great honour to take part in the Champ Car World Series' final
race," the 1996 CART title winner said. "It will also be great to
compete in front of all the southern California fans that have been so
supportive of me throughout my career."
