ANNOUNCES 2004 TENTATIVE SCHEDULE
February 12, 2004 (Montreal) - Berman Motorsport Group Inc.,
organizers of the Canadian Formula 1600 Championship presented by Deringer,
officially announced today the tentative schedule for the 2004 Formula 1600
season.
The 2004 championship will consist of eight races over six events. The season
will kick off at Mosport International Raceway on Victoria Day weekend, May
21-23, as part of the traditional Trans-Am event.
From there, the Formula 1600s will hold another race (TBA) before heading back
to Mosport for a double-header on June 19-20, in conjunction with the CASCAR
event. The fifth round of the championship will take place on the streets of
Toronto, as part of the Molson Indy event at Exhibition Place on July 9-11. At
the 2003 Molson Indy, the Formula 1600s thrilled Toronto fans with a dramatic
race which saw the 3rd through 6th place cars cross the finish line side by
side, separated by less than two tenths of a second.
The 35th annual edition of le Grand-Prix de Trois-Rivi�res will host races six
and seven, July 30 though August 1. The season finale is set for a return to le
Circuit Mont-Tremblant for the Fall Classic on September 24-26.
"The delays in the announcements of the major race events this year set our
planning back a little bit, but we�ve put together a fantastic schedule for any
Canadian driver or corporate sponsor. It features some of the biggest sporting
events in the country, and it has everyone very excited about the upcoming
season,� said Eric Berman, general manager of the series. �There has been a lot
of interest from new drivers in our F1600 National Championship this year, and
we�re looking forward to seeing some fresh young talent on the race track.�
