The
SFoW Maserati team, 2002 and 2003 Rolex Sports Car Series GT Champions, today
announced that they will run a second Maserati Trofeo Light GT.
The first entry for the new car will be at the upcoming VIR 400 Presented by Sun
Trust, on October 3rd.
The new no 34 Maserati joins the team's familiar no 33, and will be sponsored by
Algar Maserati, the authorized Maserati dealer for the Philadelphia area, and
Putnam Leasing. Jeff Segal and Darius Grala have been named to drive the
Maserati.
"This is another significant step
toward our 2005 program," explained Glenn Marquis, SFoW Team Manager.
"Maserati Corse has incorporated everything we've learned into the new car, and
having two cars is a major assist to our development program. I also think the
fans are going to enjoy the sounds of two of these exceptional V8s on the
track."
Jeff Segal honed his skills in BMW club
racing before joining the Ferrari Challenge in 2003. He has been a consistent
top finisher, taking his first win in only his second race in the series. Segal
is combining his college studies with his racing career.
Darius Grala began racing in 1999, in the Sports Toyota series. He later moved
to the Ferrari Challenge, winning that championship in 2002. Grala also owns his
own team, Cegwa Racing, and has raced a Daytona Prototype in the Rolex Sports
Car Series.
