Sebastien Bourdais has agreed to compete in the final three rounds of the Superleague Formula championship as he aims to put some fun back into his racing career.
Bourdais has been out of work since his release in mid-July from Toro Rosso with whom he scored just six points from 27 Formula One grands prix over 18 months.
The four-times Champ Car champion in the United States will now race for Spanish club FC Sevilla in Superleague Formula, starting this weekend in Estoril following a successful test at Magny-Cours last week.
“For a driver, Superleague Formula is the best alternative to F1,” insisted the 30-year-old Frenchman. The Press Association
“Today, it’s the only other championship in Europe to offer a driver the possibility of racing single seaters at a high, professional level.
“I am also a firm believer in the concept of merging motorsport and football.
“It’s a partnership that offers enormous potential and should have a good future.
“Once the championship is established and more widely known, I am sure that Superleague Formula will be very strong.”
“My desire is evidently to be competitive straight away at Estoril,” he said.
“To win as soon as my first race will not be easy for sure. I also want to have fun, which hasn’t often been the case for me during this last year.” ITV
