‘The Rat is back’

V8 Supercar driver and former FIA World Touring Car Champion, Paul Radisich, today confirmed he will contest the NZV8s Championship with Tracer Motorsport for the 2007/08 summer season.

“In recent years, my racing and business commitments haven’t allowed for me to compete for an entire NZV8 series.  So while I’ve been having discussions with Simon Cressey for some time, it is only now I can fully commit and support the national series.”  Said Radisich on signing a deal to drive the Ford powered Tracer Motorsport entry.

Having first won a New Zealand title in 1988, Radisich said the decision to run with Tracer Motorsport was largely performance based:

“Like many in the industry, I’ve been keeping an eye on the field and who the leading teams are. Given the number of race wins Tracer have achieved and my long association with Simon (Cressey), I feel confident they will provide me with the best opportunity”.

Radisich announced he will be joining HSV/Toll Racing Team for the two endurance rounds of the V8 Supercar series (Sandown and Bathurst).  He will then continue testing for the Tracer team before the NZV8s season opener in early November at Pukekohe.

The seven round series travels the length of the country and will again be incorporated into the A1GP and V8 Supercar events.

Ends.
