British American Racing Rolls Out New Livery

SILVERSTONE, NORTHAMPTONSHIRE, 23 February 1999 - British American Racing today put its cars through their paces at Silverstone in a final pre-season test before they are shipped to Melbourne, Australia, for the first Grand Prix of the new season. The team took the opportunity to present its revised livery, which complies fully with the FIA regulation requiring Formula One teams to field cars in substantially the same livery.

"While this design is obviously not our first choice, we believe it provides value for our sponsors and maintains the first-class image of the team," commented British American Racing Managing Director, Craig Pollock. Both cars will be identical in appearance with the Lucky Strike brand featured on one side and State Express 555 on the other.

"An unbelievable amount has been accomplished in the last 15 months at British American Racing by an extremely dedicated group of individuals," observed Pollock. "Now it is time to re-focus on the business of racing. Ultimately, it is on the track where British American Racing must make its mark. I believe we're capable of doing just that."
