MMC Racing's 2004 season is about to begin with pre-season testing. The teams 2004 campaign is one with high goals.

A recent engine deal landed the team BMW. The best engine in the league at the moment and a great pair for the team. Having 2 strong drivers, 2 commited test drivers, and a strong engine, MMC is ready to fight with the top teams.

McConkey told reporters, "The recent deal with BMW is great. We were able to get BMW to sign with our team and thats a dream come true for me and the entire team. We've had our eye set on BMW since we entered the league back in September. To finally get it is a big relief. Thats why we've set our goals alot higher this season. We had a strong team last season. Competing in just 2 GP's, we scored 2 points with an underpowered engine."

McConkey also hinted that their test car has already had a shakedown but have apparently had 2 cars made with different designs. "We've actually designed 2 cars during the off season, which is amazing. The first car we made was a great design but suffered a lot of problems in the crash testing. So we've scrapped that chassis and are now using the 2nd design, which is completely different.

We had our photographer take pictures of the first test car, we should hopefully have some for the press in the coming days. As for the test coming up in Barcelona, it will be the first shakedown for 2nd car we designed. So it will be interesting to see how well it performs compared to the first design."
