Cristiano da Matta left Theda Clark Medical Center on Friday and was flown to his home in Miami to continue his rehabilitation process.

The Brazilian was injured after colliding with a deer that ran onto the track near Turn Six at Road America in Elkhart Lake during a Champ Car Open Test on August 3.

Champ Car Medical Director Dr. Chris Pinderski travelled with da Matta and his family from Neenah to Miami, and was able to observe da Matta's condition throughout the trip.

"We are pleased to announce that Cristiano went back to his home in Miami yesterday," said Pinderski. "His recovery so far has been nothing short of excellent and he's done so well that the remainder of his rehabilitation will take place on an outpatient basis. We are fortunate to have had excellent care provided at all levels for Cristiano including the Champ Car Safety Team, Theda Star Helicopter Service, Dr. Randall Johnson and all those involved with his care at Theda Clark Medical Center."
