Grand Prix Masters back?
04/26/08 Word is that the defunct Grand Prix Masters Series is going to make a comeback and the latest word is that Jacques Villeneuve will be racing in that series.
The Grand Prix Masters series which ended after the UK based company that organized and promoted it was officially wound up after legal action by two of its creditors in November 2007 is to be re-launched.
The series in which ex-Formula One drivers raced against each other in identical chassis powered by identical engines series started in 2005 but by the time of the last event in August 2006 only three races had taken place.
A report in the UK’s Autosport magazine says that Delta Motorsport which supplied the series identical chassis based on a former Reynard IndyCar design and was one of the companies that applied for the winding up order is part of a group behind the re-launch.
The Autosport story says that negotiations over backing for a revival of the series could result in an announcement by the end of May. Source
