 Pacific - Profile
Pacific fielded a Reynard for Gachot in British Formula Ford 1600, and, although he may not have realised it at the time, Wiggins had made two important relationships for the future.
Pacific then had one final year in the category in 1993, when they ran David Coulthard and Michael Bartels, with the Scot in contention for the title until the very last race of the season.
But it was a right-royal battle to avoid being the worst-performing team at the back of the grid between the Pacifics and their fellows strugglers, the Simteks, the Fortis, and the hapless Inoue's Footwork, although Simtek showed that they had quite a competitive car capable of running safely in midfield before they folded mid-season.

 pitpass - the latest, hottest F1 & A1GP news
According to reports, there is a strong possibility that in the wake of (Toyota owned) Fuji International Speedway winning the rights to host the 2007 Japan Grand Prix, Suzuka, owned by Honda, could host the Pacific Grand Prix, giving Japan two rounds of the World Championship.
According to Pitpass sources, Hiroshi Oshima, Operating Officer, Corporate Communications and Motor Sports, with Honda Motor Co. Ltd, has stated that Honda had applied to continue their association with the Japanese GP, but since Fuji now has the contract for the Japanese GP for October, a second race in Spring may be an option.
Therefore, it would appear that the plan is for Suzuka to host a race in the Spring, which would fit together with the Australian and Malaysian races to form an Asian leg of the championship.

Last Sunday afternoon I felt as though I had been staying in Japan for ever.
I had gone out seven days before in order to get over jet-lag in time for the second round of the championship, but the waiting around turned out to be pointless in every sense when I retired just after the Pacific Grand Prix had reached half-distance.
It is a sign of the fickle nature of this sport that the weekend had generally been much better than the first race in Brazil, and yet I had finished second at Interlagos but came away with nothing from Japan.

Toni Elias could have cut that gap back to just nine points if he had beaten the former 125cc world champion in Brazil, but his last lap crash when challenging for the lead means he is now 39-points adrift and fourth in the championship behind Roby Rolfo and Randy de Puniet.
