SCCA-WC/SCCA: TeamRTR Nissan Sentra at PRI show

November 26, 2003 - Saukville, Wis.
      
TeamRTR's Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V will be a focal point of the Sports
Car Club of America's display during the Performance Racing Industry
trade show, Dec. 4-6, at the Indianapolis Convention Center.


Team owner and lead driver Peter Cunningham will appear with the race-
winning car to sign autographs.


TeamRTR debuted the new Sentra in the SCCA's SPEED World Challenge
Touring Car series last May. Within six races, Cunningham put the new
car on the pole at Road America, led every lap and won the first World
Challenge race for Nissan.


Cunningham, a six-time SCCA Pro Racing champion and defending Touring
Car series champion, finished fourth in the 2003 season points.


Eric Curran, Cunningham's teammate in a second TeamRTR Nissan, drove
in six of ten races and finished 18th in points with a season-ending
podium finish in Puerto Rico. The duo led Nissan to a fourth place in
the Manufacturer's Championship.


"Attendance and participation in the PRI show by racers, high-
performance component manufacturers and any company interested in
capturing a share of the street and track performance market has shown
amazing growth over the years," Cunningham said.


"It's great to be part of the SCCA's display at the show and emphasizes
their awareness of the potential for incredible growth by those of us
involved in the Touring Car Championship. The performance industry's
focus used to be strictly on V-8 engines, but now, the tens of thousands
of attendees at PRI will be exposed to a new generation of racing
car. This championship is the one of the most competitive forms of
road racing out there, and that's why Nissan chose it to showcase the
Sentra."


The TeamRTR Nissan Sentra SE-R effort is sponsored by Nissan North
America, Inc., NISMO, Red Line Oil, Eibach Springs, BOSCH, Sparco,
Gemini Technologies, and Brembo.
