ADAM
CARROLL GETS KOREAN CALL UP
Changwon,
Korea, November 19, 2003 - British hot shot Adam Carroll
has been given a last-minute entry to the International
Formula 3 Korea Super Prix after former champion Narain
Karthikeyan was taken ill in Macau.
The
21-year-old will be driving for crack F3 outfit Carlin Motorsport
for the first time in his career, and will be looking forward
to an end-of-season opportunity to impress. Carroll was
rated third in the Top Ten British F3 drivers by the UK's
Autosport magazine, behind only British F3 Champion Alan
van der Merwe, and Nelson Piquet Junior, who will also be
on the grid for the spectacular season-closer this weekend.
"It's
great to be here," he said, shortly after his arrival
in Changwon today. "I just got the call on Monday,
so it's all happened very quickly."
The
addition of Carroll further strengthens an already impressive
line up for the 5th running of the Korean event. Macau winner
Nicolas Lapierre, Nico Rosberg, James Courtney and Fabio
Carbone are amongst the sterling line-up for the two-leg
Korean event.
