GM confirms GTO will race
General Motors officials confirmed the Pontiac division will tap former U.S. rally racer-cum-aftermarket parts guru Rhys Millen to take a factory-sponsored Pontiac GTO into the Sports Car Club of America's Formula Drift Series. The new racing series kicks off April 24-25 in Atlanta. Drifting is a form of motorsports developed mostly in Japan and new to the United States that calls for drivers to control a car while sliding it sideways at high speeds through a marked course. It is similar to rally racing but is done on a closed, paved course. It is judged on execution and style rather than just time. So-called tuners compose its largest audience, according to SCCA officials. In addition, an announcement that Pontiac will also take the GTO road racing in Grand-Am next year with the Pratt & Miller team is expected in the near future. Pratt & Miller runs the Corvette ALMS program as well as the Cadillac CTS-V in the SCCA Speed World Challenge.
Jordan signs Heidfeld
Jordan Grand Prix has signed Sauber refugee Nick Heidfeld to lead the team's challenge in the 2004 Formula One world championship. "I'm relieved,'' Heidfeld said. "It was a strange experience doing the tests without being officially part of the team. Really it felt like I was already part of Jordan and I'm looking forward to this season very much.'' Jordan will test at Silverstone early this month with Heidfeld shaking down the new EJ14 and Timo Glock in an EJ13.
