Super Aguri fans, rejoice!

Speed is reporting on something other than NASCAR.

That's news in and of itself, but anyway, beside that point, they are also reporting that Franck Montagny has signed with Andretti (F1 reject) Green Racing in the Indycar series in the US. Driving the appropriately sponsored 'Automatic Fire Sprinkler Inc.' car.

They also point out he finished in the third position in the 24 Hours of Le Mans (co-driving with Sebastien Bourdais)

But Montagny wasn't loved by Supah Agoori fans - he was an invader into Japanese territory. Try saying Franck Montagny in a mildly racist impersonation of an enthusiastic Japanese fan/commentator - it can't be done. So him getting a seat in one of them there American race car series is not a cause for rejoicing. All my opinion of course. Maybe people with a penchant for ex-Renault and Toyota test drivers will be giddy with glee.

Ditto Anthony Davidson!

It must have been interesting when Brundle and Blundell were teammates....

Montangy did some Champ Car races in 2007, with PKV I think...but not 100% sure.
So its nothing new really.
And yeah, he wasnt really a true Super Aguri driver. Just a foreign mid-season replacement who nobody gave a toss about.

A bizarre case of France invading Japan, even Impossible at RISK!

He has a pink helmet. Gotta love that.

Mostly because "France" doesn't exist in Risk.

He finished second at Long Beach 2008-as far as I can tell, that's his only American experience.
