Jani chooses A1GP over Champ Car
With his Red Bull backing gone from Champ Car, Jani had no ride in Champ Car |
Neel Jani told autosport.com that he has elected to complete the A1GP season with a shot at winning the title at the expense of returning to Champ Cars this year.
"The pre-season Champ Car tests clash with A1 races and when I look at how well we're going in A1, why would I want to not race to go and test a Champ Car?
"Champ Car has a very uncertain future and I haven't had an offer that I think I could win the title with, so why would I give away a title chance in A1 for that?"
"I don't have to bring a budget to A1, the racing is good, and it gets excellent coverage. Most people would like to have a go at F1 as well of course, and that's my target as well, but a driver doesn't have to look beyond A1 – you could stay here for your career."
