YOUNG DRIVERS TO TEST FOR LUCKY STRIKE B·A·R Honda

The Lucky Strike B·A·R Honda team have today further demonstrated their
commitment to evaluating and nurturing new F1 talent, with the announcement
that opportunities are to be made available to test up-and-coming drivers
during the autumn testing season.

B·A·R's close relationship with Arden International means that the first two
drivers to benefit from this opportunity will be current Formula 3000
team-mates, Townsend Bell and Björn Wirdheim.

Bell, a 28-year-old American and 2001 CART Indy Lights Champion, and
23-year-old Swede, Wirdheim, the newly crowned 2003 F3000 Champion, will
both drive the B·A·R Honda 005 F1 car during tests in September.
