Lime Rock circuit in northern Connecticut
Frankie Muniz and David Farias hit the road for rounds #3 and #4 of the 2006 Formula BMW USA championship at the Lime Rock circuit in northern Connecticut this weekend.

The permanent road course is set in rural Connecticut, about 45 miles west of Hartford. The track layout is very fast, with effectively only 5 right-hand turns and 1 left hand turn.

Muniz, driving the #2 Jensen MotorSport entry, had somewhat of a breakthrough weekend. Again finishing both races, the true rookie Muniz showed his speed and skill by passing five cars with terrific moves in the Monday race. Classified an eventual 16th position, Muniz was consistently quicker than many other drivers. Team owner Eric Jensen states, "It's terrific to see how quickly Frankie is learning. He pushed very hard in the race, making passes on the inside and outside of turn 1. As he gains more experience, he will pick up new tracks quicker and with better qualifying positions, top 10 race finishes should be coming shortly."

The BMW team will race next at the world class Montreal Grand Prix with Formula One on the weekend of June 23-25.
