U.S. F2000 CONTINUES EVALUATION OF ZETEC ENGINE

FAIRFIELD, N.J. (November 19, 2001) —With winter test programs fast
approaching the U.S. F2000 National Championship recently continued its
evaluation of the 2.0-liter Ford Zetec engine.

The series conducted an extensive one-day test at Roebling Road in Savannah,
Georgia, with drivers Jeffrey Jones and Bryan Sellers. The duo drove Van
Diemen RF01’s with both the Zetec and Pinto engine packages, gathering and
comparing information. The test proved to be an outstanding success. With
Jones driving the majority of the test, the Zetec powered car completed over
160 laps without incident, and inspired both the drivers and team members
present.

“I was very impressed,” said Jones, who contested the British Formula 3
Championship in 2001. “The engine proved to very driveable and extremely
reliable, given we did so many laps without any problems. I believe that the
Zetec engine combined with a Formula 2000 chassis makes for very exciting
package.”

“I really enjoyed driving the Zetec,” said Sellers, who recently was awarded
the prestigious Team USA Scholarship. “Driving the Zetec and Pinto
back-to-back you really get a feel for how responsive and smooth the Zetec
engine is. I think everyone who gets to drive one will be impressed. I know
I’m looking forward to the next time I get to drive one.”

The U.S. F2000 National Championship will conduct a series sanctioned winter
test December 11-13, 2001, at Roebling Road in Savannah, Georgia, with
numerous teams and drivers attending.
