Already
announced for the FIA GT
Championship are drivers Andrew Kirkaldy, the 2007 Le Mans Series GT2
Champion Rob Bell, Tim Mullen and team principal Chris Niarchos whilst
the team
is hoping to make further announcements at the show regarding its two
other racing programmes.
“From
a commercial aspect,
launching at the show works for us,” said Team Director Andrew
Kirkaldy. “It is the biggest motorsport show around, and launching
there
demonstrates that we are a serious team, not just here for a year or
two but with a long-term future.”
Having
played an instrumental role in
setting up the team, Kirkaldy will return to the cockpit alongside Bell
while Niarchos, who drove alongside former Formula One World Champion
Nigel
Mansell at Silverstone in May, will share the second Ferrari with
Mullen.
“This
is an exciting new team
and we wish them every success for the future,” commented Haymarket
Exhibition’s Event Presenter Ian France. “They are out to
make a big impression on the international world of motorsport and made
a great decision in choosing to unveil their cars at the show. Luckily,
the
halls here are spacious enough to accommodate their needs!”
