Jungle Fever Racing

Press Release (13 october):
Jungle Fever Racing has replaced Class D driver Ilan Croitoru with Milan Sismanovic. Due to the short time towards the Adelaide race, Milan will start driving at Interlagos.

Team announcement (2 october):
Ilan Croitoru, Class D driver for JFR, has been set out of the team after abusing and threatening team co-owner Marcel Schot for the second time. His disqualification at Silverstone was the cause. After announcing this to him and explaining the possible cause, he erupted into verbal abuse. The only measure was exclusion.

Press Release (30 september):
The Fever Racing Organisation has some mixed feelings about the pre-season testing. On one side, the results of Jungle Fever Racing were promising, especially Eric Cabrit's 4th place in Silverstone. On the other hand the season started disasterous for Tropic Fever Racing. Only one car started at Estoril, but got disqualified due to an error in the TAG-Heuer timing sensors on the car.
The team's co-owner Marcel Schot said in a short statement after the Silverstone session 'We're happy with the way the Mitsubishi engine is handling. Eric showed the car has a lot of potential. Among the other drivers it was clearly visible that the car has the speed needed, but that it's very early in the season. We hope things work out as well at Tropic Fever as it did with Jungle Fever.'

Team announcement (21 september):
Ken Lees has left Jungle Fever Racing to start his own team. In a mail to the teammanagement he said 'After giving it a lot of thought I have decided to resign from JFR. I am going to re-form the Lucan Motorsport team for the new season. Thanks for everything and good luck for the season.'
