Curnow signs for Soper Sport (4 Feb 05)

After informal talks with a number of teams interested in running Ross Curnow in the 2005 Formula BMW Championship, the Salisbury based driver finally signed with Soper Sport in January. Team principal Steve Soper said they were delighted to have Ross on board this year and believe he will be a strong contender for the overall championship.

The team, which took Phillip Glew to second place last year, was testing in Guadix in Spain with Curnow at the end of January. In one of the coldest weeks that southern Spain has ever seen, Ross said: “We weren’t expecting temperatures like this and it’s meant that on some days, we haven’t been able to run until the afternoon. It’s been a great opportunity for me to get to know the team, however, and I’m really looking forward to working with them throughout the year. I’ve had a good feeling about things this week - I know we’re going to do well.”
