News/Assignment
Editors & Sports Writers
IRVINE,
Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 2, 2001--Grand Prix Sports
Inc. (OTC BB:GPRX) announced that it has won both
the FIA Formula 3000 International Team Championship and
Drivers' Championship for the 2001 season. Coca-Cola Nordic
Racing secured the Team Championship with two races remaining
in the 2001 season and has set new team records for the
most podium appearances and team points of any team since
1985. Appropriately, Coca-Cola Europe Ltd. has extended
its title sponsorship for Nordic Racing for an additional
two years.
Coca-Cola
Nordic Racing driver Justin Wilson also won the prestigious
Drivers' Championship while teammate Tomas Enge finished
in a tie for second place. Wilson became the first-ever
British driver to win the Drivers' Title and with a 71
point total, eclipsed the all time single season points
record previously held by Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo
Montoya. Enge missed the last F3000 race at Monza, Italy
after being chosen by the Prost Formula 1 team to replace
the injured Luciano Burti for the last three Formula 1
races. Enge successfully competed in the Italian, American
and Japanese Grand Prixes to finish the Formula 1 season
with Prost.
"Obviously,
this is the utmost achievement in Formula 3000,"
stated Team Principal, Derek Mower. "To win both
of these titles is a testament to the strength of our
race team and the support of sponsors like Coca-Cola and
Conoco. Together, we're effectively tapping into the enormous
popularity of global motor sports." Grand Prix Sports
owns 40% of Coca-Cola Nordic Racing and is the first publicly
traded race team in the Formula world, allowing fans of
Formula racing, by and large the world's most popular
sport, the unique opportunity to "own" part
of a race team.
