"We plan to be in Formula BMW for two seasons, but we have also arranged to acquire a new Champcar Atlantic for Philip to
test. It is our goal to race in Atlantic by late 2007 or 2008. We have also hired the renowned Richard Spenard as a driver coach for Philip."
With this commitment from his family and his new 'team', Major has all the tools he needs to succeed, including over 40 days of testing his new FBMW in preparation for the 2006 season.
"I am very fortunate," Major says. "I have a great team in Atlantic Racing Team, and already I am working well with my engineer Lucas. I also am forming a great relationship with Richard, and I am working hard to make sure
I make the most out of this opportunity that my father, my team and my family have given me."
The bottom line is you may not know who Philip Major is right now, but you will. He is in a position similar to that of a young Paul Tracy, Andrew Ranger or even Jacques Villeneuve, years ago. He has managed to put himself in a position to succeed, and he, his family, and his team are totally committed to giving him the best shot at success.
Major also got his feet wet with the other aspect of being a racing driver, promotions. Recently he did a photo shoot at Otto BMW in Ottawa, with the new Mini Cooper S Checkmate edition. Major played his part well, wearing the right clothes, posing for pictures, and then, out of nowhere, came this face, the 'macho' face I think he called it. It was hilarious, and it broke the entire photo crew up.
See, he is still a kid at heart, but a kid with a good future. You can keep up with Philip Major at his website, www.majorspeed.com
