Oz Racing supremo Richard Bayes announced at a press conference at the team factory that the number 24 and 25 slots on the grid have been signed for the forthcoming Superleague season.

Driving the 24 car this season will be the CEO and Manager himself Richard Bayes. Bayes said that, with his previous experience in Superleague, he hopes to push this team up the table for a good debut season.

Bayes was part of the later half of the season Constant Racing lineup scoring points on multiple occasions. He also drove in the 2009 BMW Masters Series where he scored points regularly and recorded a win at Surfers' Paradise after starting last on the grid.

Driving the 25 car for the upcoming season is Richard Bayes teammate from the new Megane Trophy, Scott Bennett. Bennet will be entering his rookie year in the league but a lot of promising signs have already been noted.

Richard went on to say ?cott has really showed some pure talent on the race track. Stuff you can not learn. I? hoping we will be able to build on the partnership established in the Meganes and help each other out by pushing each other to achieve the best result possible?

A possible debate on team orders and hierarchy was put down by Bayes before it could even start. Richard went on to say ?here is no number 1 driver at this team, every driver has the same chance to be as good as the other. You never know, a test driver we sign might be better then us both and I might have to give up a spot to them?

Richard was later asked if the team would be actively searching for a test driver to fit into the young and growing team. ? believe we will, but at the moment there are still a few race seats available and would like all these seats to be taken before signing someone to a test drive deal.I believe in making this competition the most competitive field the Superleague has faced.?/p> The driver lineup will be officially released to the public later on this week with a full in-depth interview from each driver.
