Forsythe Championship Racing and Paul Tracy officially began their hunt for the 2007 Champ Car World Series Championship today by taking part in the first of three days of official testing at Sebring International Raceway. source: paddocktalk.com It was a historic day for the Champ Car World Series as the teams came together for the competitive debut of the brand new Panoz DP01 chassis, designed from the ground up to provide close racing with special aerodynamics intended to reduce downforce disruptions for cars running close together. For the Forsythe Team the new chassis is not the only change since last year. Today the team showed off its new colors; a slick blue, white, red and silver livery laid out in premium quality Sherwin-Williams paint that is certain to capture the eye of race attendees and TV viewers around the world. The 2006 season proved to be a difficult one for Tracy and the Forsythe Team, but both have worked harder than ever over the winter preparing for this year's attack. Tracy has spent his entire off-season training and preparing himself for the 2007 Season, continuing with his strict physical training routine and keeping his driving skills sharp by testing Daytona Prototype cars. Although today was the first time that the Forsythe #3 hit the track this year, the Forsythe Team engineers have already been working on the development on the car for months - a crucial factor due to the limited amount of testing permitted during the pre-season. Tracy and the Forsythe Team have begun the 2007 season with only one goal in mind, to win the 2007 Vanderbilt Cup. Tracy completed 57 trouble-free laps today with his #3 Indeck Panoz setting a fast lap of 51.708 seconds, placing him third on the time charts.
