Team
BRM today announced that exciting young New Zealand driver, Nic
Jordan, will be joining the team to race for the Lady Wigram Trophy
at Ruapuna Raceway, Christchurch on January 23-25.
Nic
will be driving the team's Dallara 398 Spiess Opel, which in the
same event last year, driven by Craig Rundle, qualified in the front
row of the grid.
Rundle
will engineer the car this year for Jordan so he will be able to
impart both local knowledge as well as his experience as a driver
and engineer.
"Jordan's
performances to date have been quite extraordinary in both Karting
and Formula First" said Team Owner Bronte Rundle, we are keen
to see Nic step up to F3 as we believe he has a great future in
open wheel racing cars.
Nic has worked extremely hard to secure the funds by selling sponsorship
tickets in himself for $100.00 each. The response to this has been
exceptional according to his manager, Grant MacDonald, Editor of
Speed Sport magazine.
Team
Owner, Bronte Rundle, also revealed that final negotiations are
in place for Australian 2003 Gold Star Champion, Daniel Gaunt, to
drive at the Lady Wigram Trophy meeting. Daniel showed his talent
by winning the Australian Driver Championship in 2003 and this will
give his New Zealand fans and supporters an opportunity to see him
compete in the International F3 cars against the best from Australia
and New Zealand.
"With
Karl Reindler, the 2003 F3 Rookie of the Year, and the two New Zealand
drivers Team BRM is in a strong position to challenge for the Lady
Wigram Trophy" said Technical Director Ian Richards.
