              Doran-Lista Off  to Mid-Ohio and Then the Glen
                            For Two Races in Six Days;
      Theya to be Joined by Both Leuenberger and Magnussen

            LEBANON, Ohio, Aug.  3 -      The  pace  continues to  be fast for  Doran-Lista
     Racing in August, as the team will compete in two Rolex series races within SIX days.
     The  first  one is  the  Emco  Gears  Mid-Ohio Road Racing Classic  at  the  Mid-Ohio
     Sports Car C,ourse  in Lexhgton, Ohio Aug. 6-7, while the second is the Watkins Glen
     200 at Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, N.Y. Aug. 12-13.
           Team  owner  Kevin Doran  announced today  that  Benjamin  Leuenberger of
     Bellach, Solathum, Switzerland will join lead driver Didier Theys of  Scottsdale, Ariz.
     behind the wheel of  the  Doran-Lista DORAN JE4  Lexus #27 at  Mid-Ohio, and  Jan
     Magnussen of  Roskilde, Denmark will be Theys' co-driver at the Glen.
           Like the Paul Revere 250 at Daytona July  1-2, the race at  the Glen is a pre-
     liminary event to a NASCAR Nextel Cup race.
           Although Mid-Ohio is the track closest to the team's haadquarbrs in Lebanon,
     Ohio and most of  the team members have been competing there for literally years,
     Doran pointed out  that  a  home-traek advantage  really doesn't  exist  for  the  team
     there.
           "Mid-Ohio is  one  of  the  premier road courses in America,  and  most  of  the
     teams  have been  racing there for years  in various series," he noted,   "Most of the
     teams  already have a  plan for  their set-ups and most of the  drivers know what to
     expect because they've been racing at Mid-Ohio for years.  All that makes the com-
     pelition that much tougher, and diminishes any home-track advantage that we might
     have had."
            Leuenberger has never driven at Mid-Ohio before, a fact that he's anxious to
     change.
            "I  hear that it is a great race track with plenty of challenges for the driver, so I
     can't wait to get: behind the wheel of the Doran-Lista Lexus and learn the track," he
     said.  "I'm also very happy to have Didier Theys as my co-driver.  He is not only a very
     quick driver, but he also has a lot of experience,  Didier helped me a lot  at Paytona,
     and I'm looking forward to working with him again.
            "I'm very excited about this  huge opportunity, and  I have to  thank  Lista and
     Kevin Doran for  making this pwsible," he continued.  "I really enjoyed my first race
     with the team at Daytona.  It's a great group of   professionals, and they all  work very
     hard to achieve the best result possible."
            The team is currently sixth in the overall Daytona Prototype team standings,
     just three points out  of  fifth  place and nine points out  of fourth.   The DORAN JE4
     chassis is  second  in the  chassis manufacturer standings as the second half of  the
     season  begins, while the  engine the  team  uses,  Lexus, is  currently second  in the
     engine manufacturer standings.
            Theys is in sixth place in the rankings of  Daytona Prototype drivers currently
     with 145 points, just three points out of fifth.
            Although Magnussen will only be making his fourth start with the team at the
     Glen, he's currently seventh in the driver listings for laps led with 58.   He and Theys
     finished second at Mctnt-Tremblant, Quebec in May and fifth in the Six-Hour race at
     the Glen in June.
            Doran-Lista didn't compete in the Mid-Ohio race last year because its new car
     wasn't quite finished.  The team qualified second and finished third overall at the Glen
     in that event last year, with Theys and Bill Auberlen driving.
            Both events are slat~d to be shown on a same-day, tape-delayed basis on the
     SPEED Channel.  Coverage from Mid-Ohio is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET Aug.
     7, with the action from the Glen airing at 10 p.m. Eastern Aug.  13.
