Firestone Indy Lights driver Pippa Mann announced yesterday that she has signed a deal with Sam Schmidt Motorsports to run full time it the FIL series. Mann, who recorded three top ten finishes with Panter Racing in 2009, has already completed a test with SSM at Sebring.
"Sam contacted me after the last race in 2009 through my management team and let me know he would like me to test for his team. For me, going into a long winter with no definite plans for 2010, this was a great opportunity to run with one of the top teams in Firestone Indy Lights.Overall, the tests went well, and I was extremely impressed not just with the cars but with the attitude and atmosphere of the entire organization throughout the test, from team manager, to engineers, to the mechanics, and tire guys. I had an extremely tough learning year in 2009, and my goal for 2010 is to bounce back from that and come back showing everything that I've learned. Sam's team, with their vast experience and history of running championship winning cars, is a perfect environment for me to accomplish that goal."
