openPR) - 31.12.2006 - Before the official team-presentation of GU-RACING in January team-principal Günther Unterreitmeier
announced the 6 drivers who will participate in Formula BMW 2007. In the second season of GU-RACING, the team will be the
biggest in Formula BMW Germany. With this GU-RACING will increase for the season 2007 in important parts like public marketing
and their personal as well. The sporting aim for the new year is clear: To win the championship with one of the experienced
drivers and to win also the rookie-title with one of the fast GU-RACING Rookies. All the 3 drivers of the premier season 2006
are driving for GU-RACING Team in 2007, too.
Each of the 3 Rookies will be given to the side of one of the experienced
drivers - with this the driver-pairs are the following:
Driver-pair 1: Max Wissel (17) and Dennis Vollmair (17)
As
BMW-junior Max was third in the Rookie-championship 2006 and 11th in the overall-ranking. His highlights were Rookie-wins
and Place 2 in Oschersleben. Max aim is not only to score more than this second place with his first victory, with his experience
he will fight for the title. On his side will be the established ex-karting driver Dennis Vollmair. Without any experience
in formula racing, Dennis was still the fastest driver at the Formula BMW solarship in Valancia. Surprised was Günther Unterreitmeier
after the first testing days with Dennis in Hockenheim. His lap-times were constantly on a high level. So that GU-RACING is
looking for the rookie-championship with him
Driver-pair 2: Andrei Harnagea (18) and Nikolay Varbitzajev (17)
The
decision was clear very late that Andrei Harnagea could race the past season with GU-RACING. The missed winter testing made
the year 2006 more than difficult for Andrei. After his learning-season the 18-years Andrei from Rumania wants to reach the
top-10 positions. This is also the aim of Nikolay Varbitzajev, after driving a whole testing-year with GU-RACING in 2006.
The Bulgarian – just known as “Coco” in the team – is also the hope for the rookie-title 2007.
Driver-pair
3: Jens Höing (19) and Jackie Weiss (16)
Normally the step-up to Formula 3 was planed for Jens for 2007. But his results
of the past season were not like his aims – only place 14 in the championship. Jens showed speed, but constancy wasn’t
his goody, he preferred collisions like nobody else. In 2007 Jens should bring all together from the beginning of the first
race to drive for the championship-win. Together with GU-RACING, he decides for this solution, so that Jens will make the
step-up to Formula 3 in 2008. He will build the driver-pair together with Jackie. She is the youngest of the GU-RACING drivers.
Jackie should learn very fast in her premier-season. She took part in karting races in America the last years. For her entry
in professional Formula racing she comes back to Europe. Jackie, who is born in Germany, will live in Switzerland.
Günther
Unterreitmeier: “We are absolutely convinced that we chosen the right drivers for 2007. GU-RACING established oneself
in Formula BMW in just one year. Sure we make professional work. But every time we want to have fun as well, this is part
of GU-RACING. Personally for me, I am hoping for a victory at every race weekend since now – because of this is the
ultimate fun! The first race will be at the end of April and I am still looking for the new season since the last race 2006!
So we could organize the Formula Cup Mallorca in the winter which starts at the end of January. Collateral to the Formula
Cup Mallorca we will offer testing days in Formula BMW.
