SUNOCO TEAM ULTRA 94 - LAUNI TAKES TITLE

Press Release; September 20, 2004

Launi takes 2004 Bridgestone/FormulaCar Magazine F2000 series Championship
Sunoco's Team Ultra 94 driver Frank Launi takes 2004 title

TORONTO, ONTARIO  "This feels great for our Sunoco Team Ultra 94. This is 
the second year in a row a member of this team has won  and I am glad to 
have been the one to win it this year," Sunoco Team Ultra 94 driver Frank 
Launi said of winning the 2004 Bridgestone/FormulaCar Magazine F2000 series 
championship.  Launi's three wins powered him to the title, but the wins 
weren't what was on his mind going into the final weekend. "I knew going 
into this weekend, car choice was going to be critical. I still had two 
electives, and luckily the cars I drew were good enough for me to hold onto 
the lead. I was worried when Juliana broke on Friday  that could have been me.
"At the start of the year, we knew we had to uphold the values of this team 
and I think we have done that for Sunoco, Ron Fellows and ASN. Without 
them, none of us would have had this opportunity and I think they will be 
happy with the performance all three of the Sunoco Ultra 94 drivers put in 
this year."

Originally second in the championship belonged to Jamie Holtom, but a 
revised scoring sheet  with three drops instead of two  sent Holtom back to 
third overall. Holtom put everything on the line in the final race to move 
up to second. He took the pole, win and fastest race lap in an effort to 
secure the runner up spot. Holtom has two wins and never finished worse 
than third in the final four races in his quest to secure second, but in 
the final tally he was just a few points short.

Fourth in the championship was the third member of the Sunoco Ultra 94 
team, Juliana Chiovitti. "I ended up with a perfect 50/50 split," Chiovitti 
said. "I finished half the races and had mechanical problems in the other 
half. I want to thank Ron [Fellows] and Sunoco for the opportunity to do this."

New members for the 2005 Sunoco Team Ultra 94 will be selected at the 
Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship Evaluation Day on October 8, 2004.
