Would the pilot need to be an Australian? Mr Mawer is the likely candidate for the seat if this is the case

This is in the Off season thread as well.

No mention of any drivers as of yet , but Im not sure if they require an Aussie , frankly would Barton be up to it ?

I know he is very talented and should at least be in our A1 car but its a big jump to Champcar and I read recently that he is looking at Carerra Cup ?

From the releases I read it sounded that it wasn't really important as to the nationality of the driver.

The only linking factory was that the sponsor of the reported Carrera Cup campaign is the same as the new ChampCar..... and the driver is Australian, with an open wheeler history... 1+1 = 47
