Haberfeld Verging on Champ Car Deal

It’s all set: Brazilian Mario Haberfeld is ready for the third Champ Car season of his career in 2005. Although no deals have been signed yet, the 28-year-old driver hints that is now a mere formality.
“I can’t say it officially yet, but I expect to announce my 2005 plans by the end of next week,” revealed the former Walker (2004) and Conquest (2003) driver. Haberfeld’s destiny will likely be either one of the two squads, with Walker having the upper hand.
The Sao Paulo native admits he’s never considered anything but Champ cars for ’05 - not even the Brazilian Stock Car series, now blossoming with the country’s open-wheel refugees (Christian Fittipaldi being the latest addition).
“I love the series, and I can’t wait to get back behind the wheel of a Champ Car again,” confessed the 1998 British F3 champion.
Haberfeld’s upbeat-ness also comes from the fact that, for the first time in his career, he won’t be suffering from a “Reydicap” this season: “My expectations are pretty high for this year, since I’ll finally get to drive a Lola,” he confirmed. Haberfeld’s two previous seasons were on Reynards, but both Walker and Conquest will be campaigning only Lolas this year.
The Brazilian also praised the new Champ Car rules that banned the dreaded pit windows of recent seasons: “The changes allow for riskier race strategies, which only adds to the excitement of the sport,” he believes.
