With Dominguez for the Australia event source: Rocketsports Racing After making two-Champ Car starts with Rocketsports Racing this season, Antonio Pizzonia returns to the cockpit of the #18 Rocketsports Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone to team up with previous Australia-race winner Mario Dominguez creating a dynamic pairing for the team at the Surfers Paradise venue. Pizzonia, who made his Champ Car debut with the team on the streets of Long Beach, California, takes from that experience of racing on a street course to Surfers Paradise with the hopes of producing his best finish in a Champ Car. Currently, after two events, the Brazilian's best start was 11th in Long Beach where he also earned his best finish of tenth. Pizzonia, who was familiar with the track in Montreal from his days competing in Formula One, started 13th and despite a radio failure that lead to various issues throughout the race he finished 11th. Pizzonia also earned a point for leading two laps during the Montreal event. "I am obviously excited to get back into the #18 Rocketsports car," said Pizzonia. "It was a shame what happened in Montreal with the radio failure. That made for a very tough race for me without communication to and from the team, but we did our best. I look forward to getting another opportunity in a Champ Car with Rocketsports Racing.''
