Mucca Rosso Team has officially announced that it has released John Passon from the team effective immediately.

“Due to certain circumstances Mucca Rosso Racing Team and John Passon have mutually agreed to terminate a two-year contract between both parties effective immediately. We wish the very best to John Passon in his personal and professional lives” noted the Mucca Rosso Team’s official website this morning.

No word has been mentioned about a possible Passon’s replacement at the team and sources suggest that John Passon is extremely dissatisfied with Mucca Rossso and is threatening lawsuit, despite the team’s official statement.

It is expected that John Passon will seek the assistance and advice from Veloce Sports International (“VSI”) in regards to this matter, as VSI is not only responsible for managing the promoting the Tri-C TAG MASTERS World Championship Series, but they also work very closely with drivers in protecting their interests.

“We haven’t been contacted by Passon” said Alex King, President of Veloce Sports International (“VSI”). I am personally not aware of the details in regards to the latest contractual dispute but I do find very disturbing to the series that a driver with the experience of Passon and the results he has achieved so far this year is suddenly found without a ride. We will look into this matter closely in the next few days, should Passon seek our assistance.”

Passon’s future is extremely uncertain. It is unlikely that Passon’s management team will be able to find a new team at this stage in the season. Passon is not expected to attend Round 4 of the world championship.
