Andretti back for USA

Marco Andretti is looking forward to racing for A1 Team USA in New Zealand

Marco Andretti’s medal position in Malaysia last year has earned him the chance to continue racing for A1 Team USA in Taupo next weekend. The 21-year-old has been confirmed as racing for the Stars and Stripes in New Zealand, fresh from finishing in a strong third place in Sepang’s Feature race last November.

“I’m looking forward to the race in New Zealand", said Andretti.

“I’ve never been over there, but I’ve heard a lot of good things about it from [New Zealand IndyCar racer] Scott Dixon and I am looking forward to getting there. I know very little about the circuit, but I’m sure we’ll get up to speed pretty quick.

“It’s just great to be able to race this time of year. I love to drive and a lot of people aren’t getting that chance right now."

Andretti has recently re-signed with the IndyCar arm of A1 Team USA service provider, Andretti Green Racing.
