Hesketh Racing Press Release

Hesketh Racing - On Location

For the first and only time this season, Hesketh Racing enjoyed the sun and surf of the Gold Coast. A shame no one told the weather on Friday.

Personal efforts have now helped Hesketh Racing to a 29 point lead in the series and are hoping to keep the momentum into the final round of the series in Fontana.

Team Mrs. Fields Pies Penske Babe Press Release

Surfer's Paradise, Australia - Team Mrs. Fields Pies Crayola Penske Babe is overjoyed to congratulate their lead driver, Gil de Ferran, on his back-to-back championships. From his bunk at the medical facility Gil said, "Of course I am very happy, now go away and leave me alone." Once he is feeling more like himself, he will have more to say. There is no truth to the rumour that we deliberately removed his brakes so he would not be tempted to make an extra stop and let Brack ahead of him.

Helio and Bruno are already in Fontana and will be running laps in full race trim until we tell them they can stop.

We are assured that despite the entreaties of Kenny Brack, there are no plans to turn Surfer's street course into an oval. The organizers, when they stopped laughing, said, "Couldn't he just learn to turn right?"

We look forward to the end of the season and to a good finish in second by Helio and some kind of points finish for Bruno.

JADS Racing Press Release

We would just like to announce to all our fans and supporters (hello mum!) that no decision has yet been made on our driver line-up for the 2002 season. A search is underway for a replacement for Alex Z, while negotiations are ongoing with Kenny B and Dario F. However, in the light of the shocking news regarding driver treatment at Revcounter Racing, our drivers are now demanding similar terms. We refuse to acquiesce. We believe our championship position 24 points ahead of Revcounter Racing is proof enough of the folly of their ways. Kenny and Dario will not be running on Jim Beam's at Fontana. Kenny will continue to use Absolut vodka, while Dario will stick to the McEwan's. More news on the line-up for next year will not be forthcoming as soon as we don't have any new information.
