Rocketsports Building A Powerhouse
Written by Josh Katinger · March 3, 2004
It would make sense that the team owned by the same guy who is part owner of the entire series would start to build itself into something of a powerhouse. Rocketsports Racing has taken another step in that direction by hiring Crew Chief Robin Hill to their 2004 Champ Car team. Hill has an impressive history as chief mechanic for some of Champ Car’s greatest champion teams and drivers.

Hill experienced his first championship victory with Bobby Rahal in 1992 and was part of the record-setting run of four consecutive championships at Target/Chip Ganassi Racing, which began with Jimmy Vasser’s title in 1996. Hill served as the chief mechanic for three of those four championships, earning titles in 1997/1998 with Alex Zanardi, and then captured the championship title and the rookie record for number of poles (7) and podiums (7) with Juan Montoya in 1999.
Originally from England, Hill worked in European F2 and F3 series before beginning his career in America in 1985 with Jeff Andretti in the Super Vee series. Hill has also worked with drivers Danny Sullivan (Patrick Racing, 1991), Jimmy Vasser, Bruno Junqueira and rookie, Ryan Hunter-Reay.
