As far as I can remember, it was the holding company of Herdez Competition since Keith Wiggins and the Herdez owners purchased the team.

Maybe someone knows this ... Didn't the guy from Herdez still maintain an ownership interest in HVM?

Hernandez Pons stll maintains an ownership interest, but he is not the guy from Herdez anymore, his brother along with a few other family members took control of the company (he still owns the same percentage of Herdez, he just doesn´t control the company anymore), that was the day Herdez stopped sponsoring racing cars and started to sponsor golf tournaments.

I am surprised that Wiggins has not given the team a new name. Seems like a good time to and also a better name !

I'm guessing that there is probably some legal reason he is using HVM. Nothing else makes any sense.

He could always revive the Pacific name from his FFord/F3/F3000/F1 days?

While it's true - they were a backmarker F1 team - weren't they also a front running F3000 team before moving up?

Yep they won the title with Christian Fittipaldi in 1991, and came close with David Coulthard in 1993. In fact they won pretty much everything they turned their hand to on the way up until F1 chewed them up and spit them out. Having said that I don't know if there is any other connection with the team besides Wiggins. I guess the core of the team will come from the old Bettenhausen operation?
