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

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. Last edited by rustyfan; 31 Mar 2005 at 19:40. |

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" |
