Andretti Green Promotions Signs Letter of Intent to Purchase Grand Prix of Toronto Assets
Andretti Green Promotions, LLC announced today it has signed a letter of intent to purchase the assets of the Grand Prix Association of Toronto Corp.

The letter, which is dated March 14, 2008, runs through a period ending on April 30, 2008. Andretti Green Promotions, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Andretti Green Racing, will begin a process of due diligence immediately to determine if it will proceed to the next step, which would be to enter into a purchase agreement with the Grand Prix Association of Toronto.   The terms of the letter of intent will not be disclosed.

The Grand Prix Association of Toronto owns and operates the Grand Prix of Toronto, which has been a mainstay in the North American Indy racing landscape since 1986 and also saw events in 1977 and 1978.

“This is an exciting first step in the process. Having the letter of intent in place allows Andretti Green Promotions a chance to look at all the opportunities that exist in Toronto and evaluate its future,” said Kevin Savoree, managing director of Andretti Green Promotions.  “There is a great deal of due diligence to complete and a lot of hours in front of us, but we're looking forward to getting started. Toronto has always been one of the true signature events in Indy racing and we are looking forward to exploring our options there.”
