test driver for F1's British American Racing team for the last four years,
Lemarié, who turns 34 on February 6, has a wealth of driving experience in such
international series as American and European Le Mans, Formula 3000, Formula 3
and Formula Ford and Renault. He last raced competitively in 2001, when he
teamed with Stefan Johansson in the Audi R8 for five races in the American Le
Mans Series, including the race in Lemarié's
racing experience in "Patrick is
an extremely solid driver who is racing fit," said Pollock. "He is
definitely well prepared for this opportunity to get back into competitive
racing. He has invested a lot of time over the last four years setting up an F1
car, and in that capacity he was invaluable in providing input and giving his
feedback to the engineers and mechanics. "When
you're a new team in a series, as PK Racing is in CART, you need to have a
driver who is well-versed in the driving and the testing aspects because this
team is being put together in an extremely short time frame. I have been in a
position to observe Patrick's work for a number of years, and I know that PK
Racing is getting a driver whose knowledge and experience are major assets for
our team."
