The Superleague Formula championship will kick off at Donington Park on August 30/31, and then head to the Nurburgring (GER), September 20/21; Zolder (BEL), October 4/5; Estoril (POR), October 18/19; Vallelunga (ITA), November 1/2; and Jerez (Spain), November 22/23.
Rangers also revealed their latest signing at Ibrox today - the club’s Superleague Formula assault will be handled by British race organisation, Team Westec.
The Corby-based team has an outstanding championship pedigree, winning the British Formula Ford championship, the Formula Ford Festival, the British Formula Renault Championship, twice a championship winner of the UK “Days of Thunder” Stock Car Series, and this year claiming the Spanish Formula 3 Cup title.
“We are really thrilled to be looking after Rangers,” Team West-Tec’s Gavin Wills said.
“Where we are based in Corby actually has a enormous Scottish heritage. Thousands of Scots moved into the area when a huge steel works opened back in the 1930s.
“We are well aware of the huge responsibility we have on our shoulders. Rangers have had a fantastic season and we are very excited about continuing that on the race track in 2008.”
The 750 horsepower, V12 powered Superleague Formula car is currently undergoing development and had its first public outing at the Donington Park round of the British Touring Car Championship last weekend.
Rangers red, white and blue car will also be on display at this weekend’s Scottish Motor Show event at Knockhill.
“On behalf of Superleague Formula, I would like to congratulate Rangers on making the UEFA Cup final,” Superleague Formula Competitions Director, Robin Webb said.
“I know the fans are extremely excited about welcoming home their heroes tomorrow night - we hope the chance to see their club colours aboard the Superleague Formula car will give them something else to cheer about.
“The Rangers car also looks fantastic. I am sure the fans are going to be very much looking forward to seeing and hearing the car in action.
“The reaction we got at Donington Park on the weekend was incredible and ever since we announce the club as a Superleague entrant, our office has had a lot of enquires from Rangers fans about coming down for the first race.”
