Franck Perera (born March 21, 1984 in Montpellier, France) is a race car driver who has competed in a number of international open wheel racing championships.
[edit] CareerIn 2006, Perera drove in the GP2 Series for the DAMS team, after four years of racing for the Prema team in junior championships. In 2007 he drove for Condor Motorsports in the Atlantic Championship, scoring three wins and finishing second in the championship behind Raphael Matos.[1] On February 6, 2008 Perera announced that he had signed with Conquest Racing to compete in the Champ Car World Series in 2008 after a successful test with the team.[2] However, shortly thereafter Champ Car and the Indy Racing League unified, canceling the Champ Car season. It was announced on February 25 that Perera had modified his deal in order to continue with the team in the IRL IndyCar Series.[3] He lost the ride after three races due to funding issues stemming from the bankruptcy of his sponsor Opes Prime, causing the team to hire Brazilian driver Jaime Camara. In order to continue racing in the US, Perera signed to drive in Firestone Indy Lights with Guthrie Racing for the remainder of the 2008 season and made his debut in the seventh race of the season at the Iowa Speedway. He captured his first series victory from the pole at Infineon Raceway, his eighth start. He returned to the IndyCar Series for the points-scoring finale at Chicagoland Speedway, driving the #41 car of A. J. Foyt Enterprises. He was also signed to drive the car of A.S. Roma in the brand new Superleague Formula championship in 2008. Perera returned to the GP2 Series in 2009, replacing Giacomo Ricci at David Price Racing.[4] Perera was not allowed to start the feature race of the Hungarian round, due to causing an avoidable accident in qualifying, with Romain Grosjean. As his lap time was outside 107% of Lucas Di Grassi's pole time, the stewards refused to let him race due to the accident. Grosjean however, was allowed to start.[5] Perera also failed to qualify for both races of the championship held at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit.[6] He left the GP2 Series for the second time after the Spa round. Perera has been confirmed as the driver for A.S. Roma for the last 3 rounds of the 2009 Superleague Formula season taking over from Jonathan Kennard. [edit] Racing record[edit] Career summary
