Paul Bonaccorsi Announced as Driver for the #7 Autosport Development  
GTO at Infineon

Detroit – July 13, 2005  Autosport Development announced today that  
former SPEED World Challenge Touring Car standout, Paul Bonaccorsi,  
will pilot the team’s #7 GTO for Round Seven of the SCCA Pro SPEED  
World Challenge GT race at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California,  
July 15-17. The race is in conjunction with the American Le Mans  
Series and part of the Infineon Grand Prix of Sonoma Presented by  
Ravenswood.

Bonaccorsi is no stranger to the SPEED World Challenge Series. In  
2002 Bonaccorsi was the 2nd winningest driver in the SPEED World  
Challenge Touring Car Series. Taking time off to focus on his growing  
construction business, Bonaccorsi is excited to make his return to  
competition in the Autosport Development GTO.

“I’m really looking forward to getting back behind the wheel,” said  
Bonaccorsi. “I’m especially excited to do it in such a competitive  
car. I’ve been watching the Autosport Development program and the  
progress that Stu Hayner’s been making in the #5 GTO. It’s a great  
looking car, and I think once I get the feel of it, I can move it up  
to the front. It will be a quick learning curve, but with Stu’s  
input, I’m sure we’ll be up-to-speed in no time.”

Paul has been racing since 1993. His success in the SPEED World  
Challenge series has placed him in feature articles in the LA Times,  
SportsCar magazine, Canadian Driver, and other major circulation  
publications. Recently he was featured on the nationwide motorsports  
radio show, Speedfreaks, and was honored by Mazda in two full-page  
advertisements in Autoweek. A California native, Paul resides in  
Rancho Cucamonga, CA with his wife and two children.

Chili Pepper Racing’s Jim Osborn usually drives the #7 GTO, however  
due to a scheduling conflict, Osborn was unable to make the Series’  
west coast swing. Bonaccorsi will take the wheel for Round Seven and  
Steve MacDonald of Woodinville, Washington will be in the seat for  
Round 8 at Portland International Raceway, July 28-31.

The Infineon Grand Prix of Sonoma Presented by Ravenswood schedule  
calls for the SPEED GT race to run Saturday at 1:05pm and the Touring  
Car race to run on Sunday at 2:50pm. Both races will air Sunday, July  
17th on SPEED with the GT race at 1:30pm the Touring Car race at 6pm.  
All times are EST.

Autosport Development competes as part of the SPEED World Challenge  
GT Series. All events are nationally televised on SPEED channel  
(formerly Speedvision). In 2005 the SPEED World Challenge Series  
schedule will include street races and temporary circuits in  
Cleveland, Denver and St. Petersburg, and make the traditional stops  
around the country at great tracks like Sebring, Road Atlanta, Lime  
Rock Park, Infineon, Mosport, Portland, Mid-Ohio and Laguna Seca.
