Sunoco's Team Ultra 94
dominates at Mosport!
Matt Champagne, Aaron de Heus and Jordy Vorrath capture five of six wins in 
season opener

MOSPORT, ONTARIO - The three Sunoco Team Ultra 94 members had a solid 
showing in the season opening 2003 Bridgestone/FormulaCar Magazine F2000 
Racing Series at Mosport on June 20-22. Twenty-four drivers are taking part 
in the series, including the three Sunoco Team Ultra 94 drivers, Fonthill, 
Ontario's Matt Champagne, Vancouver's Jordy Vorrath and Uxbridge, Ontario's 
Aaron de Heus.

The 24 drivers are split up into two randomly picked groups for each race 
that consists of 12 of the 24 drivers. "It's neat the way they do it," de 
Heus said. "Sometimes I will be the only Team Ultra 94 driver in a race, 
and sometimes all three of us could be in the same race."

During the course of the weekend, all three drivers ran three races, and as 
a team, one of the Sunoco Team Ultra 94 drivers stood on the top step an 
amazing five out of six times. Champagne managed to capture two poles, on 
his way to winning all three of his weekend races.

"It was great to get this first weekend behind us," Champagne said. "I 
think we were all a little nervous going in, but now we know what to expect 
from the series, it is just a case of settling in and getting the job done."

Vorrath had a perfect weekend going until his third race. He had been on 
the pole and won his two previous races, but a difficult gearbox in 
qualifying for his third race saw him have to settle for fifth on the grid. 
Vorrath moved up to third in his final race.
"I have to say this was a great weekend for all of us," Vorrath said. "We 
worked well as a team, helping each other out where we could, and I can't 
wait for the next round."

De Heus meantime was having a solid weekend. He qualified fourth in his 
first race and finished third. He qualified fifth in his second race and 
moved up to third and in his final race he qualified fifth but was a victim 
of another driver's incident which gave him a 'dnf' (did not finish) in his 
final race of the weekend. This was a tough break for the Uxbridge driver 
as he had set the fastest race lap before having to retire. "A tough way to 
end the weekend," de Heus said. "But now we have the first weekend behind 
us, we know we are all threats to win this for Sunoco and Ron Fellows. It 
is great being part of this team, I can't wait for the next race weekend.

Once the racing at Mosport was over, all the team members headed to Barrie, 
where rounds 5 and 6 of the Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship 
presented by Toronto Star Wheels was in progress. The team members made it 
in time to catch several of the races and were on hand to help hand out the 
trophies to the class winners at Barrie.
