Cory Sylvester

Cory Sylvester is an American driver currently racing for the UK-based team Centurion-Koenig GP Racing.

Early Life and Career
Sylvester was born in Washington state. From a very early age, he took to karting in a local league. Before long, he moved to the top of his class, being singled out by Forrester Motor Company for a seat in Formula Forrester at age 16. However, personal problems prevented him from taking that offer immediately. After taking a year sabatacal, Sylvester returned to motorsport, making his way back into Formula Forrester as a test driver at age 19, then into the seat the following year.

Season 1
At age 23, Sylvester was hired by Centurion-Koenig GP Racing as a test driver. He spent much of the season aiding in the development of the car. However, after ten races, the team became frustrated with lead driver Darren Richardson and decided to salvage the season, they would put young Sylvester into the car. After taking third at Monza, Sylvester scored his and the team's first victory at Imola. Another win followed in Japan, as well as pole positions at Singapore and Brazil. While Centurion still found themselves in fourth place overall in the Constructors Championship, they opted to renew Sylvester's contract as lead driver for the second season following his strong performance.

Season 2
As the second season commenced, Sylvester performed very strongly, taking the team's first win at the third race of the season after a string of podiums. A retirement in Germany lost Sylvester the lead in the championship, but reasonable performances throughout Europe and the first half of the North American leg of the season kept him in second. Starting in Canada, however, Sylvester suffered four retirements in a row, dropping him far adrift of the lead. At the final race in Brazil, Sylvester managed an easy second place, bringing him back up to fourth in the Drivers Championship.
