PACIFIC OPTS FOR FORD COSWORTH POWER

Pacific Grand Prix yesterday concluded an agreement with Cosworth
Engineering to use the new Ford Cosworth ED engine in next year's FIA
Formula One World Championship. The 3.0 litre V8 ED unit will power the
Pacific PR02, the team's 1995 contender, and the first on-track tests
for the Pacific-Ford are scheduled to take place in February.

Cosworth's experience and unparalleled success in building race and
championship-winning Formula One engines will assist Pacific in making a
major step forward in the team's second year of competing in the World
Championship and Team Managing Director Keith Wiggins is delighted with
the agreement:

"We could not wish for a better partner than Cosworth and the decision
to use their new ED engine was a logical step for Pacific. We have
been discussing terms with Cosworth for some time, but our new car was
always designed with their engine in mind and I am very pleased that
this part of our 1995 package is now in place. We are looking forward to
working with Cosworth in the coming year and I have no doubt that this
partnership will bring Pacific much success."

Frank Coppuck, Chief Designer of the Pacific PR02, is certain that the
Ford Cosworth ED will prove a most effective engine in the coming season
:

"The new engine is everything a designer could wish for. It's
light, compact, short and very stiff - from my point of view it is
architecturaly perfect. Now that the agreement is in place the first
dummy unit will arrive at our factory today, and we are all keen to get
on with the programme for 1995."

Bernard Ferguson, Cosworth Engineering's International Sales & Marketing
Executive - Racing, is pleased that Pacific has joined the company's
list of successful Formula One partners :

"Recognising Pacific's achievements in the lower formulae, and the fact
that after its debut season in Formula One the team is determined to
make considerable progress in 1995, we are very happy to be supplying it
with Ford Cosworth ED engines for the forthcoming season. Both parties
have good reason to approach next season with great confidence, and in
the meantime we look forward to working closely with the team in the
coming months."

Pacific is the only Formula One team to have won championships at every
level of the sport. Since 1984 the team has won the British, Benelux
and European Formula Ford 1600 Championships, the British, European and
World Cup Formula Ford 2000 Championships, the British F3 Championship
and the FIA International Formula 3000 Championships. Current F1 stars
David Coulthard, JJ Lehto, Christian Fittipaldi, Eddie Irvine and
Bertrand Gachot have driven for Pacific, with Lehto, Fittipaldi and
Gachot winning major titles in the lower formulae.
