 Damien
Faulkner has been Irelands leading
International motor racing competitor for the last
ten years. The Donegal driver has competed and won
in Indy Lights, FIA Sportscars, Porsche Carrera
Cup, Formula Palmer Audi, Formula Renault, Formula
Ford and Vauxhall junior and is the reigning Porsche
Carrera Cup GB champion. In addition Damien has
competed in British GT's and the Porsche Supercup
as well as having acted as a safety car
and Doctors car driver at Grand Prix's.
Among Damien's claims to fame is being part of the closest three car
finish in motorsport history during his time in Indy lights.
Damien came in second of a trio of drivers who crossed
the line within 0.001 of a second at the Kansas speedway
in July 2001
Up till 2004 Damien drove in occasional Porsche races
before signing full time with TEAM SAS for the second
half of 2004. In that year Damien took the teams' first
ever win at the final round of the championship and a
number of podium places. His
2004 performances were impressive enough for SAS
to sign him up for the full 2005 season and he went on
to reward their faith by giving them their first championship,
taking seven victories and eighteen podiums.
For 2006 Damien remained with Team SAS to try to defend his title and sucessfully completed this task with two races to spare. Following his UK championship double Damien is this season working on a move to the F1 Grand Prix supporting 'Michelin Porsche Supercup' in which he has previously competed as a guest driver. |
