While some will be looking to improve their position in the final standings, Bourdais will be soaking it all in as he competes in his final Champ Car World Series race before moving on to
Formula One. The first driver to win four consecutive Champ Car championships would like nothing more than to end his US career the same way he usually ends
all his races - with a victory. The Frenchman has enjoyed much success at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez with two wins and a second place in the last four races.
“Obviously, you don’t want to finish your career in the series with some frustration or regret, so it would be great to have a good weekend again," Bourdais admitted, "We’ll give our very best and hope we can finish in style. Mexico is a really fun track, although very bumpy, which is the only downside but makes it more challenging because it’s difficult to read and the grip is not its best.”
With Bourdais saying his final goodbyes and on-track battles that promise to be even more exciting with an extra 50 hp on tap via 'Power-to-Pass', the crowd is in for quite a treat. But what the Mexican fans would love even more is for one of their own to come home with the win. Dominguez will be making his sixth appearance in Mexico City, but his best finish at home came in 2003 when he climbed onto the third step of the podium.
“I am very excited to be racing in Mexico City again, and having Tecate as a sponsor on my car makes me very proud," Dominguez said, "I hope I can do a fantastic job for them. Nothing would make me happier than giving the Mexican fans a great result in my home country.”
Martinez, meanwhile, will be making his second start in Mexico City driving for Forsythe, after having made his Champ Car debut there in 2006, starting and finishing ninth.
