INDIANAPOLIS — Oriol Servia will pilot one of two PKV Racing Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone entries during the 2008 Champ Car World Series season.
Servia, who competed for PKV Racing in the last two events of 2007 and during the 2006 season, finished sixth in the standings last year.
The 33-year-old native of Pals, Catalonia, Spain, contested 13 of the 14 events in 2007, two with PKV Racing and 11 for Forsythe Championship Racing, earning 11 top-10 finishes including five top-five showings with five podium performances.
Servia’s best finish was a second in Long Beach.  
“We are very pleased to be able to come to an agreement with Oriol so quickly,” Johnson said. “He did an outstanding job for us the last two events of the 2007 season and is one of the top drivers in the Champ Car series. Given Oriol’s proven talent, experience and familiarity with the team, having him on board this earliy in the pre-season will allow us to proceed with our off-season program to the fullest as we pursue our goal of winning the championship.”
Johnson went on to say, “Current plans call for the team to run two cars in 2008. The second driver will be named following a series of driver tests.”
