Castro Neves, runner-up in the 1997 Indy-Lights Championship season is very confident about having a great season. "There are few people in Brazil that are confident about me. This will be a learning season for me, and I will try to make as many points as I can get. Maybe I can even try to get a podium." said the brazilian. "For me, all Brazilians (except Tony Kanaan and I) are in the fight for the championship. But this will be a strong championship, because there are at least 12 drivers that can win the championship." finished Helio. Marc Zimmermann - The Auto Channel
