Adrian Campos has decided to use the success of his eponymous team in this year's GP2 Series as the catalyst to move on to other things.
Renamed for 2008 courtesy of a major sponsorship deal, Barwa Campos International used the experience of Lucas di Grassi to transform its fortunes in 2008, the Brazilian coming on board after the Monaco round and hauling the team not only into contention for race wins, but also helping take it to the teams' championship title after a series of podium finishes. di Grassi also finished third in the individual standings, despite missing the first three double-headers of the season.
Finally achieving a title after spending the first couple of year's as the category's whipping boy, Campos has now revealed that he is stepping back from the helm in order to concentrate on other racing commitments, including an unspecified 'new project', while handing control of the GP2 operation to long-time partner Alejandro Agag. Campos has sold his shares to the businessman, who now transforms a majority stake into 100 per cent ownership of the team.
"I believe that is a suitable moment to think about other projects that I have had in mind for some time ago," Campos wrote on the team's website, "I will continue to spend time with our F3 team, as I believe that I overlooked that in recent years, but I will also set in motion another project that excites me, and one that I have high hopes for the future and that I expect to make public very soon.
"I could not be leaving the ]GP2] team in better hands. Alejandro has assured me that he intends to continue the programme, and I am sure that he will do things as well as we have in the past few years. I just want to take this opportunity to thank, publicly, everyone who has helped and supported the team over these years."
