COLUMBUS, OH, USA- Last month Torrent Motorsports announced their GPVWC Formula Challenge line up for the 2012 season. Early at the start of March TMo gained a place in the Supercup series, this is another spec series where the teams run a Dallara GP2 chassis powered by a Renault engine. As a result of this both Petter Kaasa and Rickard Hellsten have made the move up into the Super Cup.

This meant that there are two vacant seats in the Formula Challenge series. Greek Jim Parisis who was originally named as a reserve driver steps up to get a full race seat, He is joined by Finn Ari Nieminen.

The team have also confirmed they will launch their FB-TMo-01 chassis over this coming weekend.

Rickard Hellstensaid:

?After my two years away from sim racing I am happy to make my return in the GPVWC Supercup series. Myself and Petter have had success in the past so I don?t see why we can?t again?

Team Manager Simon Melhuish said:

"When we found out about the Supercup position becoming available, it was an easy decision to enter it. The line-up of Petter and Rickard in SC and Jim and Ari in FC shows our intent for the 2012 season".
