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.
