NEWS STORY
06/11/2006

American hot-shot, Graham Rahal, who will make his Champ Car debut next season, has announced that he will play no further part in the A1 GP series in order that he can begin his preparations for 2007.

The American (Columbus, Ohio) born driver, has made a number of appearances for Lebanon, most recently at Brno.

"I want to thank the Auchi family for the opportunity to represent Lebanon in A1GP," he wrote on his website. "While I am disappointed to withdraw from the series I wish all the best for Basil, Khalil, Alex and the entire team."

The final round of the 2006 Champ Car World Series takes place this weekend in Mexico City and Rahal is planning to attend and watch the action from the sidelines.

Rahal made history this year in becoming the youngest winner of a Champ Car Atlantics race and broke many records along the way to finishing runner-up in the Championship, in his rookie season. He took four pole positions, five victories, and six podiums in the 12 races of the calendar.
