Mario Dominguez

#7 Telmex/INDECK-Cosworth/Bridgestone/DP01

“I am extremely happy to be given this opportunity to come back to race for the Forsythe Team, I feel like I have unfinished business here and I would like to thank Mr. Forsythe from the bottom of my heart for giving me this opportunity to go chase victories for him again. We are going to give it all we ve got for the first three races and we ll all keep working on sponsorship which will hopefully come through so we can race for the rest of the year. I am 100% percent committed to this program and I will give Jerry the results that he wants, both on and off the track. I would also like to thank Telmex and Promenada at Rainbow for supporting me, without them none of this would be possible.

I had a chance to drive the DP01 in Sebring at the beginning of the year and I have no doubt that it will improve the racing this year. It is very fast and it should make the field a lot more competitive and more exciting for the fans to watch. It is quite stable and you can be aggressive with it, it really matches my driving style so I have no doubt that we will be very strong and that we ll be able to hold high the Orgullo de México/Pride of Mexico”

Neil Micklewright

VP Team Operations

“We are very happy to have Mario back on the Team. When we were searching for a driver for the #7 car we knew we needed someone with experience that would help us develop the new car and who could be quick right out of the box. Even though we ve been strong during testing with only one car, having two cars with two quick drivers will definitely speed up our understanding and development of the car, particularly as we visit these first three street circuits which have a lot of characteristics that we haven t really been able to test with the DP01 yet. Mario has always been fast on temporary street circuits, and with the new chassis and his knowledge of the Team we ll be in the best shape possible. ”

Peter Davies

SVP Business Development

“With our Forsythe business interests and partners CIE in Mexico, Forsythe Racing has always had a special interest in running a Mexican driver. Last year there was a whole set of circumstances which unfortunately for Mario and the Team brought to a premature end his 2006 campaign with us, but with the help and support of Telmex and new sponsors Cabicorp and Promenada at Rainbow we hope we ve created a catalyst to re-engage Mexican and Hispanic companies. On this note we would specially like to thank Telmex and Carlos Slim without whom this new Mexican initiative and potential would not have been possible.

Mario and all of us at the Team will be working extremely hard with our existing and potential sponsors to ensure that Mario can challenge for the 2007 Champ Car Championship for himself, Forsythe, his sponsors and Mexico. ”

Jerry Forsythe

Team Owner

“It s been a long and busy off season – Champ Car has secured stronger domestic and international television partners, our next generation race car, and new venues – new markets in Las Vegas, Europe, China and Phoenix. In considering a second driver for the Team, Mario was always an obvious choice; he not only has a lot of experience and success with the Team, but also has a huge following in Mexico and among the Latin fans in the United States. These are two key targets groups for Champ Car and it is important to give these fans a hero to cheer for and to provide Latin American companies a Motorsports platform through which to promote their products, services and brands.

With Mario Dominguez and Champ Car s exciting festivals of speed in key North American markets I very much hope we can re-establish and grow strong partnerships with Mexican and Latin corporations. ”
