After having drawn attention to himself in the seventies and eighties as a formula driver, Ernesto Catella have then became known in international field for the important successes obtained with RC Motorsport, the team he has started in 1989, and for having helped the careers of drivers such as Giancarlo Fisichella, Alessandro Zanardi, Jarno Trulli, Esteban Tuero and Enrique Bernoldi.
After a break and thanks to the support of an important long-standing
sponsor, the manager from Milan has decided to step again into car
racing with a new team, ELK MOTORSPORT. Among the several formula
championships that are emerging, Catella has chosen the Formula 3000
for his comeback as he believes that the Euroseries 3000 is the best
launching pad both for Elk Motorsport and for his drivers, without
concealing the fact that is goal is GP2.
And his return to the stage it’s intended to be successful already from
2007, both in the Italian Championship, where he has already won many
titles (in F.2000 and F3), and in Europe, where Elk Motorsport will
have the chance to distinguish itself on F1 circuits and in front of
the live TV viewers.
The new Mechacrome 500 BHP, the new aerodynamic kit and the F1 super
licence at stake, as well as the involvement of prestigious teams as
Fisichella Motor Sport and Minardi Team,have persuaded him to take up
this challenge.
Ernesto Catella has stated: “I’m really satisfied with this agreement
with Coloni Motorsport and I’m sure that the upcoming season will be
very rewarding. I’m sure it will be a winning team and that my staff
will be competitive, also thanks to the collaboration with Jean Silani
who has already been the engineer of Liuzzi, Pantano and Friesacher. We
are now considering several drivers and will soon communicate the line
up.”
