Wickens leaves Atlantics for Europe

Robert Wickens will leave the Champ Car Atlantic Series behind him as he sets sail to embark overseas on a new stage of his open-wheel racing career. The Red Bull Junior driver will race in 2008 in the World Series by Renault (WSR) with Carlin Motorsport.

"It was a terrific opportunity to drive the final two races of 2007 with Carlin" commented Wickens. "We learned a lot during those sessions and now we can take that forward into 2008. I am looking forward to testing the new car as soon as possible."
