Simsoa owner Lawrence Simpson confirmed recent Press speculation and provided more details of their 2004 race car, including the name of the driver who took to the wheel at the recent private Suzuka test.

In an interview with a popular Japanese Newspaper, Lawrence Simpson discussed the pictures taken of the Simsoa car which is known as the Simsoa SA-03V. "We have decided to take a radical approach to this new car by adding many new aero packages that we couldn't do with our 2003 car, the SA-02V." Also, the identity of the driver was confirmed by Lawrence "...yep! It was yours truly!". Lawrence, himself had been driving the car to check the on-board computers and initial aero-package worked well around the track. "As your probably know, I can't tell you everything. But i can say, that at the moment, it drives well and that it sticks to the track magnificently around the more demanding corners of Suzuka, like 130R!".

The Simsoa car is still going through final checks after initial sketches and designs were put together as early as May of this year. "The provisional release date for the new car will be January 5th we hope. It depends on whether we get all the contracts for sponsors and engine in time for that."
