Will Scott Whiteman return to the paddock for the last GP of the season? His last GP was in Belgium this year, where he finished second behind Elencevski. But after experiencing various problems with his Logitech MOMO Racing wheel he had to withdraw from the championship.

Whiteman initially said to EIRE staff: ?Just tested the Momo now that I have reformatted, the pedal problem is still there as I knew it would be, but the wheel doesn't seem to be slipping in corners anymore.?

But EIRE have now confirmed that Whiteman will indeed be back for the last GP of the season. Only problem, he says: ?is that I am as rusty as all hell and probably couldn't bring the car home in the points.? Ponissi is of course very happy to see Whiteman return for the last GP of the year in Brazil. His team mate will be Ross Loram again, meaning that the line-up will be as at the first GP in Melbourne again.

Ross: ?It's good. I think we'd have beaten Phoenix anyway, but it's good to have him back - he's obviously the best driver we have.? We?ll have to see what happens of course; hopefully EIRE can give the Championship another exciting factor. More news soon.
