Enge lands ride

Czech racer Tomas Enge has brought sponsorship to Patrick Racing with which to replace Jaques Lazier in the cockpit of the team's Dallara-Chevrolet. Enge will run the final two IRL races, at California Speedway and Texas. Enge graduated from F3000 to contest three Formula One races for Prost Grand Prix in 2001.

IRL tests road course package

Details of the IRL's first road course test remain sketchy, but by all accounts the session at Homestead-Miami Speedway was a success. A half-dozen teams and drivers worked with league officials on a variety of chassis pieces Sept. 22-23. Dario Franchitti was the quickest, some two seconds better than fellow former CART driver Helio Castroneves.

The IRL's first race on a non-oval will be April 3, 2005 on the street course at St. Petersburg, Florida. Its two races on permanent road courses (at Sonoma and Watkins Glen) will be in the fall of next year.

No Goh?

It looks as though the Japanese Goh Audi team won't defend its Le Mans 24 Hour crown next season. Privateer team owner Kazumichi Goh, who won the French enduro with Tom Kristensen, Rinaldo Capello and Seiji Ara in June, has revealed his team will not return to the Le Mans Endurance Series in 2005. Neither is there a guarantee, he said, the team will be at Le Mans with its 2002-spec R8 prototype next year.
