They just had news, going to reseaech this more tonight.

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 5, 2001--Grand Prix Sports
Inc. (OTCBB:GPRX) announced that Coca-Cola Nordic Racing's driver,
Justin Wilson, has won the inaugural race of the 2001 International
FIA Formula 3000 Championship after a dramatic race at the Interlagos
circuit, securing Coca-Cola its first race win on the debut of its
first full season in Formula 3000.
Starting from seventh position on the grid, Wilson became the
first British driver to achieve a race win in Formula 3000 in nearly
five years.
With the front-runners having trouble, Wilson seized the
opportunity and took the win in Round 1 of the Formula 3000
International Championship at Sao Paulo, Brazil. After crossing the
finish line with a 3.8 second lead over Mark Webber, Wilson pulled
over to the pit wall and continued to the parc ferme. Team Manager
Chris Mower added, "This was a dream start for the season both for
Justin and Coca-Cola Nordic Racing. We came to Brazil with a set aim
and that was to win."
It was Wilson's first victory since he won the European Formula
Palmer Audi Championship in 1998. The other Coca-Cola Nordic Racing
car, driven by Tomas Enge, was also very competitive, running second
for much of the race, eventually finishing 12th. Twenty cars of the 26
starters finished the race, with all but two still on the lead lap.
The next Formula 1 and Formula 3000 race events will be held on
April 14 and 15 in Imola, Italy.
