Maxi Jazz prepares for Carrera Cup

Maxi Jazz, writer and lead vocalist for the acclaimed 'Faithless' group, is preparing for a full season of racing in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB. The musician will race with the front-running Red Line Racing team and is currently conducting an extensive testing programme ahead of the start of the season on 8/9 April."I've always been into motorsport," says London-based Jazz. However, commitments to producing albums and touring mean that his racing to date has been severely restricted. "You can’t mix the two! But we're not touring this year, so I can go racing," he said during the Carrera Cup pre-season test day at Silverstone on Monday (13 March).So far, Maxi has only managed one full season of racing, which was back in 2001. "The whole plan is to learn to be quick in a Porsche. I just want to keep improving," he says. He will work with team leader Richard Westbrook to keep building his pace as the season develops.When not racing this season, Maxi will be busy writing and recording a new album. However, he is determined to commit time to his racing and hopes to continue for another full season in 2007.
