IRL: Visor struck down with the mumps by Virgil Ellipse
10th Jul 2008
EasyCars driver EJ Visor has been diagnosed with the mumps and has withdrawn from this weekend's Firestone Indy 200 at Nashville Superspeedway.

Visor, who seems to have gone all initial on us since his British F3 days when he was plain Ernesto, has been advised to remain in quarantine and the Indy Racing League is asking anyone who was in close contact with Visor last weekend at Watkins Glen to submit to a blood test.

It is understood that 28 nubile members of the Wriggly Young Miss contingent of Visor's Venezuelan fan club have already come forward, with another seven expected to submit themselves as soon as they have recovered from the rigours of their encounters with the driver.
