Former Formula One driver Franck Montangy has confirmed to
French media that he expects his Motorsport career to over, after confirming
that he tested positive for a cocaine derivative. Montangy drove in Formula One
with Super Aguri during their debut season in 2006 when he teamed up with
Takuma Sato.
Prior to his time with Super Aguri, Montangy spent two years
as a test driver with the Renault F1 Team between 2004 and 2005.
Following his season with Super Aguri the Frenchman joined
the Toyota F1 Team as their official test driver. Since then he has driven in
the American IndyCar Series, the old A1 GP racing series, Super League, LeMans
and most recently drove for the Andretti Autosport FE Team in the FIA Formula E
championship.
The Frenchman has been suspended from all Motorsport pending
a full investigation however he has stated that he does not intend to contest
the result of the drug test that took place in November last year following the
Malaysian round of the Formula E championship.
‘Auto sport is perhaps over for me’. ‘I was ashamed.’
