“I’m excited to be a part of the Formula 1000 Championship Series next year,” stated Dixon. “This series has the potential to draw new racers into F1000, increase the level of competition, and improve the visibility of the F1000 class. I fully expect this series to ‘raise the bar’ and we will work hard to continue to develop our car and the entire package to remain competitive.”
“It’s great to have someone of Brandon’s stature and experience in the Series,” claimed Series’ Managing Director, Jon Lewis. “Brandon is a proven Champion and his car has also proven to be very quick. He will have lots of competition in 2012 with several other seasoned veterans entering the Series as well as a host of new talent. It looks to be a very exciting season.”
