Tri-C TAG MASTERS pilot, Tony Sinicropi, arrived this morning at LAX from Italy and unexpectedly ended months of speculations in regards to the second pilot that will partner up with him for the remaining of the season of Tri-C World Championship of TAG MASTERS. The Italian also made an official announcement in regards to Red Mucca Racing Team that is set to send shock waives in the world of motorsports. Here is the official and complete Red Mucca Press Release announced this morning:
Red Mucca Racing has announced a reformation and will now be called Scuderia Scorpio Rosso (SSR). Team driver Tony Sinicropi announced today at LAX as he arrived from Italy this morning, that he and newly announced co-team driver Blair Chang have purchased the team and will take over the duties of running the organization. Christiano Horner will continue on as the team manager.
"I really believe we have the right equipment to challenge for the lead in TaG Masters and after careful evaluation Blair and I decided to purchase the team and try to move it further up grid so to speak." Stated Sinicropi.
"We know we are new to TaG and are running against some of the best in the world so our goals are set realistically. This year we will work on learning and going faster as we also put together a technical support team that will be second to none. The pieces have been falling into place rather quickly since Blair has signed on."
Team drivers will continue to be Tony Sinicropi in a First Kart T.01/KRT-Parilla Leopard and newly announced co-driver Blair Chang will be piloting a GP8-100/KRT-Parilla Leopard. The team will miss the April race as they will be honoring contractual obligations at the Long Beach Grand Prix. Scuderia Scorpio Rosso will be in action in May at the Tri-C TaG Masters event but only Sinicropi will be attending as Chang will be racing in Willow springs in the ProKart Challenge.
"Blair has been anxious to get on track and race in the TaG Masters class however his chassis was not ready in time for the last race and he is committed to running in the ProKart Challenge in the very competitive ICC Masters class where he sits 7th in points." Horner stated. "Blair finished 4th last weekend at the PKC event at Calspeed, charging all the way from 30th position at the start do to a DQ in the heat race while also laying down the 3rd quickest lap time. Blair has been testing in his TaG chassis and has shown great promise. Blair's first TaG Masters race will be in June but he may not be the only new edition to the team."
Horner continued, "At this time we are under contract negotiations with a 3rd driver who will be piloting a First Kart T.01 with Leopard power. The deal is all but done, we are just waiting for his engine to be completed and returned to our racing facility so that he can begin testing. With the success last year of the First Kart/Leopard package we actually have several new drivers that are anxious to get into the new TaG Masters class. They are all trying to get their schedules cleared and begin testing. With a little luck we may have as many as 3 or 4 driver additions by early to mid summer. That would make a nice squadron to go out and do battle with!"
