Pantano to replace Wilson for two races

17 August 2011

Giorgio Pantano is the next man to substitute for the injured Justin Wilson, with Tomas Scheckter having been drafted in to race at Dreyer & Reinbold for the past two races. Italian Pantano, who won the 2008 GP2 title with Racing Engineering, is due to take part in the next two events for the squad at the Infineon Raceway and Baltimore.

"For me, this is a very good opportunity," said Pantano. "I want to say thank you to Dreyer & Reinbold Racing and the sponsors for giving me this opportunity. I'm here to do the best that I can as always and I look forward to competing in these two races."

"We are extremely excited about putting Giorgio in our car at Sonoma and Baltimore," added team co-owner Dennis Reinbold. "He will add another dimension to our program and we are happy to have him on board for those events. Giorgio has a lot of experience and talent and we believe he will be a good fit."
