New Sunoco Team Ultra 94 members set for Mosport debut this weekend
Chiovitti, Holtom and Launi set for series opener

TORONTO, ONTARIO – The three new members of Sunoco’s Team Ultra 94 will 
make their competitive debut this weekend at Mosport in the season opening 
rounds of the 2004 Bridgestone/FormulaCar Magazine F2000 Racing Series.

The three new members, Sutton’s Juliana Chiovitti, Innisfil’s Frank Launi 
and Ottawa’s Jamie Holtom are all anxious to get their F2000 season 
underway. “We have some big shoes to fill,” Launi said heading into this 
weekend. “Matt [Champagne], Jordy [Vorrath] and Aaron [de Heus] all did 
very well in this championship last year, and we’ll do our best as a team 
to deliver those same results to Sunoco.”

Even though this is the first weekend for the Team Ultra 94 drivers in 
F2000 competition, it is by no means their first race action of the year. 
Juliana Chiovitti has been busy south of the boarder in Las Vegas, while 
Frank Launi has kept his skills sharp by running Formula Senior in the 
Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship pPresented by Toronto Star Wheels. 
Jamie Holtom has probably been the busiest. He has been running RotaxMax 
Senior in the Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship pPresented by Toronto 
Star Wheels, plus he is driving the Control Microsystems SCADAPack Civic in 
the Honda Michelin Series for Jonak Brothers Racing.

The Sunoco Ultra 94 team members will compete in four races over the three 
day weekend at the Driver Development Track at Mosport International Raceway.
