“This is the best weekend that I have ever had,” said Wirth. “I had too much wheel spin at the start and did not think I had the best chance. But like in Saturday’s race, as the race continued my car got faster. When Jonathan went off, Jaskol was just ahead of me. I got a good draft going into turn one and was able to overtake him cleanly.” A disappointed Jaskol added, “The team worked very hard to change every sensor in the car to try to fix our electrical problem so we did not have the time to work on the race trim. With today’s condition changes we did not have the straight-line speed we needed and I had to settle for second. With two poles we have shown that we have the speed to win, but it was just not our weekend.” Brian Frisselle said, ”I am very happy with third. We had very little testing time and the team had quite a few cars to look after this weekend. To go from seventh to third is very good. I made one mistake that let Joey get under me, but I got him back in the next turn.” “Overall we are very pleased with the performance of all our drivers and teams,” said Alex Schmuck, Formula BMW USA Manager. “Both races were very exciting and safe.  It is great to see that the competition particularly at the front of the field is as close as it is and that each driver is improving every time they take to the track.” The top-three finishing rookies were fifth-place Hinchcliffe (AIM Autosport), eighth- place Tom Milner (Team PTG Motorsport) and ninth-place Trevor Daley (Atlantic Racing Team) Rounds 3 and 4 of the Formula BMW USA Championship will take place in support of the Canadian Grand Prix on June 11-13.

Our priorities are to create a level playing field through technically identical vehicles and scrupulously defined regulations, and to ensure maximum safety.” The ultra-modern Formula BMW racecar, which allows 15-year-olds to enter the world of motor racing, has been lining up on the grid all around the world since the 2002 season. It sets standards above all on the safety technology front. The single- seater, powered by a 140 bhp BMW motorcycle engine producing speeds up to 140 mph, features a carbon-fiber chassis and fulfils the safety requirements of the much higher-performance Formula 3 cars. In 2004, Formula BMW will be staged in four different series held in Germany, England, Asia and the USA. Formula BMW events will be part of the Formula One support program on five occasions around the world. All the series go hand-in-hand with a comprehensive education and coaching program, as well as substantial financial backing for promising young talent. The most distinguished graduate is Ralf Schumacher. The star of the BMW WilliamsF1 Team made his racing debut in the junior class in 1992.
