(Cleveland, Ohio) - Emmanuel J.M. Crouvisier, currently living just outside of Cleveland, Ohio in the United States, is now one step closer to his dream of racing in the top echelon of motorsports.

Following a day-long test in Le Mans earlier in the week, Crouvisier has been officially invited to compete in the La Filière Formule Campus championship, based in Le Mans, France. The series is comprised of sixteen races, at such venues as Magny-Cours, Pau, Le Mans, and Estoril, Portugal.

Along with twenty-four other drivers, Crouvisier will take to the track beginning in December to participate in the first official test of the 2002 season. Crouvisier commented on the news, "I am absolutely elated to have the opportunity to participate in this championship. All of the time and effort that everyone has put into making this happen has finally paid off."

Crouvisier will move to his new home in Le Mans, France just after the New Year, so he can spend some time vacationing with his family over the holidays in the United States.
