    Robert Wickens to Race World Series by Renault in 2008

    Wickens will compete the complete 2008 World Series by Renault schedule with Carlin Motorsports.

    Wickens, from Toronto Ontario, was the 2006 Formula BMW USA champion. Finished 3rd in 2007 Champ Car Atlantic Championship with 1 win. He has recently raced for Canada in the A1GP championship, taking 3rd in his first time out in Malaysia.

    He definitely has the foundation to do well in the Renault World Series. But I still find it a strange switch, and he probably couldn't find anything better

    He's got Formula 1 on his mind. If he goes to Champ Car, which is where Atlantics would lead him, he has almost no shot. Look what Bourdais had to do just to get on with STR.

    If he switches to WS by Renault and does well he can get a good seat in GP2, and if he does well there F1 is right around the corner.

    The World Series is a definite step up from Atlantics and probably a good way to learn the European tracks before he takes a shot at GP2. Oh, and the World Series winner does get a Renault F1 test as a prize.

    i agree. if you want to get in F1 then champcar is a very difficult way to get to it. WS by Renault is a great series for the drivers who are almost to gp2 and f1. Also F3 Euroseries is also a good option to get to f1.
