Sunoco Ultra 94 team ready to move ahead
Chiovitti, Holtom and Launi ready for second race weekend
TORONTO, ONTARIO –The ‘mid season’ opening four rounds of the 2004
Bridgestone/FormulaCar Magazine F2000 Racing Series are set for this
weekend at Mosport International Raceway. All three Sunoco Team Ultra 94
members, Juliana Chiovitti, Frank Launi and Jamie Holtom are ready for this
important weekend of racing.
“This is a big weekend,” says Innisfil’s Frank Launi. “With four races this
weekend, it is a good time to make a serious run at the championship.”
All three drivers faired well in the opening for rounds held last month,
and this weekend all are looking for wins and podium finishes. “This is the
weekend to make a statement,” says Chiovitti, who travels from her home
base in Las Vegas, Nevada to compete in this series.
For Holtom, it will be his third consecutive race weekend. Two weeks ago he
competed at Trois Rivieres, Quebec, then last week at Mosport at the
American Le Mans weekend in the Honda Michelin series. Now he will be back
in a formula car this weekend, but Holtom expects to adjust back to this
style of car quickly.
The Sunoco Team UItra 94 members have one race later this afternoon, then
two rounds on Saturday, followed by round 8 on Sunday.
The final race weekend of the 2004 Bridgestone/FormulaCar Magazine F2000
Racing Series will run on Sept 17-19.
