Having already etched his name into the Champ Car World Series record books by
opening the season with three straight victories, Paul Tracy now has his
sights set on another series mark as he looks to become just the fourth man
since the formation of CART to win four consecutive races.
Tracy became the first driver since the formation of CART in 1979 to win the first three races of a season as he kicked off the 2003 Bridgestone Presents The Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford campaign, with victories in St. Petersburg, Monterrey and Long Beach, and now looks to join Al Unser Jr., Alex Zanardi and Cristiano da Matta as the only drivers to take four straight wins. A fourth win to start the season would put Tracy in even more elite company after he joined Al Unser Sr. as the first Champ Car driver since 1971 to win the first three races of the year. A fourth win would push him closer to 67-time Champ Car race winner A.J. Foyt, who claimed the first seven events of the 1964 season. "I'm excited about racing at Brands Hatch, not only as a driver but as a person who's interested in the history of motor-racing and Brands Hatch is certainly a name that one associates with this history. It strikes me as the type of track where you have to be aggressive, but at the same time, you've got to keep your wits about you,"
