New European adventure for McIntosh.

Twenty-year-old Canadian Sean McIntosh steps from representing Team Canada in the A1GP series to competing in the World Series by Renault this weekend in the opening two rounds of the Championship at Zolder.

McIntosh turned heads in the British Formula Renault Championship in 2004, claiming a maiden win the series and Rookie of the Year honours, before moving forward last year and taking five wins and finishing second in the Championship.
