Michal finished an impressive 3rd in his first season in his
Magia-Chrysler car (which he also drove for the first half of the 1996/97
season). Michal joined the team midway through the 1996/97 season and
again, finished the season in 3rd place (narrowly missing out on 2nd).
Last season, his persistance paid off, and he won the championship in a
very dominant manner - he finished every race in the top 2, and vastly
improved his qualifying performances from previous seasons. Digitech
believe that Michal still has the potential to make his season this
year his best yet!

Marco is Digitech's first new recruit for the 1998/99. Digitech were
impressed by his performance in his rookie season last year. Although
he has only 2 podium finishes to his name, he regularly finished just
outside the top 3 in the latter half of the season including a string
of 4th places. He finished 2nd in only his 11th race, and finished
the season 4th overall - both these facts are a major achievement for
a rookie. Given that Marco was constantly improving during last season
at M&T-Speed, we believe that he has the opportunity of being one of
the major contenders this season.
Mirko joins Digitech after an impressive rookie season with
Enigma Racing last year. Although he appeared to struggle initially,
Mirko soon got to grips with ups and downs of IAF1GPC racing. One
of Mirko's most impressive performances was starting on the front row
in Spain last year, just 0.026s behind the championship leader.
Digitech hope that Mirko will soon settle in at Digitech, and continue
to improve his performance this season.
Oliver won the 1995/96 and 1996/97 championships and has been competing
in the championship since it started in 1994. Oliver stepped down as
lead race driver at the end of the 1997/98 season due to other commitments,
and has opted to be the team's test and backup driver.
