Da Matta gets a Champ Car drive

Former Champ Car champion and Formula 1 driver Cristiano da Matta has been struggling to get a drive in recent weeks after PKV Racing decided to hire Katherine Legge and Oriol Servia. As a result da Matta has now had to accept work with Dale Coyne Racing. Da Matta's season with PKV in 2005 was not a huge success, despite a race win last Spring at Portland.
