Team BRM today announced that exciting young New Zealand driver, Nic Jordan, will be joining the team to race for the Lady Wigram Trophy at Ruapuna Raceway, Christchurch on January 23-25.

Nic will be driving the team's Dallara 398 Spiess Opel, which in the same event last year, driven by Craig Rundle, qualified in the front row of the grid.

Rundle will engineer the car this year for Jordan so he will be able to impart both local knowledge as well as his experience as a driver and engineer.

"Jordan's performances to date have been quite extraordinary in both Karting and Formula First" said Team Owner Bronte Rundle, we are keen to see Nic step up to F3 as we believe he has a great future in open wheel racing cars.


Nic has worked extremely hard to secure the funds by selling sponsorship tickets in himself for $100.00 each. The response to this has been exceptional according to his manager, Grant MacDonald, Editor of Speed Sport magazine.

Team Owner, Bronte Rundle, also revealed that final negotiations are in place for Australian 2003 Gold Star Champion, Daniel Gaunt, to drive at the Lady Wigram Trophy meeting. Daniel showed his talent by winning the Australian Driver Championship in 2003 and this will give his New Zealand fans and supporters an opportunity to see him compete in the International F3 cars against the best from Australia and New Zealand.

"With Karl Reindler, the 2003 F3 Rookie of the Year, and the two New Zealand drivers Team BRM is in a strong position to challenge for the Lady Wigram Trophy" said Technical Director Ian Richards.
