Bjorn Wirdheim signs with HVM

David Cameron has the scoop on Bjorn Wirdheim (as I'd expect he would ) on Autosport-Atlas.

Wirdheim Signs With HVM

Bjorn Wirdheim, the 2003 Formula 3000 champion and former Jaguar Formula One reserve driver, has signed to race in this year's Champ Car series with HVM.

I'm nearly happy enough to use the 'You go girl' smiley.

But not that happy.

Great news, he's bound to be competitive and could feasible win races and the Rookie title this year before making a push for the 2006 title. Nice to see him being so enthusiastic about the team he's joined as well - I get the feeling that he doesn't automatically regard this as a second prize compared to F1 (unlike a certain other would-be ChampCar newcomer).

The series is really ramping up in the competition factor.
Great news! Very happy to hear this.

Lovely Stuff....the more Europeans, the more committment from Eurosport (at least that's the theory! )

But Bjorn is of no doubt a great addition to an already strong field.....now I know why people are raving that 2005 is going to be very compettitive!

Wohoo

EDIT - And of course our useless media here in Sweden haven't picked up on it yet. Our biggest newspaper even has a story - posted today - about Wirdheim's test with Coyne online... Useless I say, useless.

With the addition of Wirdheim, the field is shaping up to be quite better than most expected.

This should be good news for Bjorn, for Keith Wiggins, for Sweden, and for ChampCar in general. Perhaps this is another case of F1 letting a real talent slip through.

Nice. Now, i'm hoping for an all scandinavian lineup at HVM! . That'd be interesting .

Hmmm, what would be an appropriate "Hola Viva.....Scandanavia" in their languanges then should that happen?

I'm sure it'd sound nicer than just "Team Europe"
