Brazilian Racing News: Dorricott Racing Indy Lights Testing

17 November 1997

Dorricott Racing staged a 2-day driver test at Firebird Raceway in
Phoenix, Arizona, November 10-11 to evaluate drivers for a possible seat
with the team in 1998. Over the two days, 6 drivers were evaluated by the team: 
Marcos Gueiros (F3000), Rino Mastronardi (Barber Dodge), Tim Moser (ARCA 
Supercar), Oswaldo Negri (Indy Lights), Philipp Peter (German GT2), and
Bryan Selby (Barber Dodge). 

Team owner Bob Dorricott, Sr. said, "This is a group of very
talented young drivers that would do very well in any racing series".

The fastest time was set by Peter, with 48,85: "I had luck to get the
car when the track was colder," said a delighted Peter. "I am very
satisfied with my time, I was the driver that was on track at the
hottest moment, and my time, just 2/10 of a second away from the
Austrian, left me very confident. 

Brazilian Oswaldo Negri, Jr. said, "When Peter was on track at the same 
time as I, he was 7/10 slower than me." Negri's best lap was 49.06 secs.

Negri, who is looking to race in Indy-Lights next year, was very
impressed with the team and all the equipment they have.
