Chinese F1 Driver

Hey, I didn't know that a Chinese driver is competing this year in the Champ Car Atlantic series. His name is Jiang Tengyi. He drove in the A1 GP last year and is driving for the Brooks Associates team this year.

The 22-year-old driver from Shanghai leveraged a karting championship in China into a Formula BMW seat in 200 followed by Italian Formula Renault and then the A1GP.  "The Brooks team was highly recommended by Forsythe Racing, a team I hope to race with in Champ Car in the future, " Tengyi said.The Champ Car series is scheduled to race for the first time in Zhuhai, China on May 20. "The guys are working really hard for a top effort for Jiang," said team owner John Brooks.  "He reminds us of some of our favorite drivers of the past - Andreas Wirth, Ronnie Bremer and Al Unser III.

To get that Chinese sponsorship money, Champ Car will have to move him up the ladder.
