Aaron will travel to The Infineon Raceway near San Francisco for 2 days intensive testing on the 9th / 10th February, with the Jim Russell Racing school, to evaluate the possibilities of competing in the 2009 Jim Russell racing Championship.

Aaron is really excited about this opportunity, and will most certainly want to make the most of it, he quotes -

" We have talked about the American option a lot during my career, I cant believe this opportunity has now arisen, I will be more than focused during the 2 days on doing a good job, so I can impress upon the team, which can only help me secure and finalise my plans for 2009, I am really looking forward to challenge of driving the Infineon Raceway after experiencing it on Grand Tourisimo on Playstation !, "

The Jim Russell Racing Championship uses identical Lola FJR- 50 which is based on the Lola BO6/30 Formula 3 car which won the German Recaro F3 Championship in 2006, breaking the domination that Dallara has had on the class since 1993, the Lola is coupled with a Mitsubishi 1998cc in-line four cylinder Turbo charged and intercooled unit which produces 300bhp.
