Blog #365-Tiago Monteiro 2003

January 25, 2021

Today we look back at the first racing team I worked with in Champ Car, Fittipaldi-Dingman Racing with driver Tiago Monteiro in 2003 at the Milwaukee Mile and Road America.

These photos are from the Road America Champ Car race weekend. The race itself was red flagged twice because of rain and was shortened because of darkness.

Tiago had Emerson Fittipaldi as a coach and mentor. You can't get much better than Emerson for sure to help you out!

The team only lasted one year and James Dingman didn't really help anyone by not paying them.

Tiago would go on with his career in racing with Formula 1 in 2004, 2005 and 2006.

He still is racing in Europe in touring cars and has won the Nurburgring 24 Hour the past two years in a Honda TCR.

I love Emerson Fittipaldi's motorcycle you see here. Sargento Cheese at this 2003 race weekend made a cheese head sculpture of Emerson!! Where else but in Wisconsin can you get that?

Enjoy a look back at 2003 Road America where Tiago finished 11th after two red flags because of the rain.

Thanks,

Rich ZImmermann
