Mexican Luis Diaz will compete in next month's Champ Car World Series at
Mexico City in a third Walker Racing entry.
Toyota Atlantic driver Diaz competed in the event last year as a replacement for
Adrian Fernandez in the CART veteran's eponymous team. He will line up alongside
regular drivers Darren Manning and Rodolfo Lavin at Walker. His drive is being
funded by Sun Microsystems, Mexican wireless carrier Telcel and Motorola.
"This will certainly allow me to be in touch with the Mexican public that has
always encouraged me," said Diaz. "The race will be very tough and the track
demanding, as it will be very competitive among all the drivers that want to
win, but with intelligence and speed we will get the results that are expected."
Diaz is the second Mexican to be added to the Champ Car driver line-up for the
Mexico City race. Roberto Gonzalez will drive in for Herdez Competition in place
of Brazilian Roberto Moreno. The two additions will mean that six Mexican
drivers will start the event.
