"We certainly want to be seen as a major factor in GT Racing
and in the FIA GT Championship in particular," Schirle
continued.
The team will receive the car on February 21st, and will be
running a test session in the United Kingdom before taking
part in the official launch and test day for the 2005 season
at Monza on March 22nd.
"Nicolaj tested the car and loved it, Vasiliev is a quick
driver, and it is a major boost to have Christophe on board.
There is still a lot of work to do, but we are quietly
confident," Rob Schirle concluded.
