Kuala Lumpur, 17th May 2008 - Fortec Motorsport is pleased
to announce that Fairuz Fauzy has joined the team and
will participate in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series (World
Series by Renault) for the remainder of the season, starting
at the Monaco GP support race next week.
Following a successful test with the team at Valencia at
the end of the 2007 season, Fairuz has participated in both
the GP2-Asia Series as well as A1GP.
Fortec Team Principal, Richard Dutton commented: - "It's
a great boost for the team to have Fairuz with us for the
2008 season. He showed last year that he has a great talent
and a wealth of experience and we hope to capitalise on this
from the start. We were keen to see Fairuz in our car following
his test last year and I believe he can be incredibly competitive
with us."
Fairuz Fauzy commented "I
am glad and it is good to be back in the championship with
the team that
I had driven for during my Formula 3 days. It feels like
home as Richard (Dutton) is no stranger to me and he is familiar
with my driving
technique. I did a pre-season testing with them at the
end of last year and I believe we
stand a good chance of challenging the front runners. I look
forward for a wonderful start in Monaco."
