Ross Curnow chooses Formula BMW single seaters for 2004 (1 Oct 03)

Ross Curnow has announced that he plans to contest the new Formula BMW UK Championship next year. Already successfully established in Germany and Asia, this series is expected to give a major boost to British motor sport.

BMW will be offering an unprecedented package of incentives including driver education and coaching plus substantial prize money in its efforts not only to discover new talent but also to provide all the young graduates with the right credentials to go all the way to the top. Peter Walker, BMW UK's Motor Sport Manager, added "We are also in pole position to maximise our partnership with the BMW WilliamsF1 Team to the undoubted benefit of all our ambitious young competitors.

As part of their education, racers will be able to participate in a wide variety of exclusive activities in conjunction with BMW WilliamsF1 including special lectures and visits to Formula One tests.

Team principal, Sir Frank Williams, will also present a special Frank Williams Trophy for sportsmanship and he will certainly be following the fortunes of those competing. "Formula BMW represents an excellent and cost effective platform to introduce talent to motor racing. I am confident that next year's series will be a great success and I would not be surprised if, in years to come, its British graduates are contenders in Formula One," says Sir Frank.
