2008 is shaping up to be another
stunning season for Formula Master with three more teams already confirmed in addition to this year’s
line-up.
Dutch
outfit AR Motorsport is the
latest to sign up and will run a two-car team in the Series. “Our aim
is promote our drivers to Formula Master after a couple of years spent
with our Formula Renault 2.0 team,” said AR Motorsport Team Principal
Ronald Heilingers. “We followed Formula Master from the start but
logistical issues meant that we couldn’t take part last season.
“Now
is a good time to enter
though and I don’t think that being one year behind some of the teams
will be a problem. The key attraction for us is the promotional
package.
The Series has the best TV coverage when compared to other Formulae and
the car offers a great challenge in terms of racing, whilst being very
good
value for money, which is great!”
Joining
the Series alongside AR
Motorsport are GP2 team Trident Racing and British Formula 3 outfit
Performance Racing, bringing the 2008 grid to a total of 37 cars so
far.
“Following
such a great debut
season, we are extremely pleased to see new teams choosing Formula
Master as their future,” said Series Director Mauro Sipsz.
“Additionally, having this year’s teams return to the Series for 2008
once again reinforces the level of quality and great racing that
Formula Master enjoys.”
