German racer to partner previously announced Richards.
After announcing Richards as the first of their two Supercup drivers for 2015 just before Christmas, TSA Racing have been working hard to find someone to complete their career ladder line-up. Another new face will be entering the TSA family in the form of Germany's Sven Schubert.

Despite not being able to race as often as he would have liked to over the past few seasons, the races which Schubert has attended have shown good signs of pace as well as highlighting his points-scoring ability in both Formula Challenge and Supercup. For 2015, Sven has shown determination and a willingness to develop a strong relationship with both the team's boss, Cameron Brewster, and his new teammate, Matt Richards.

When asked about the team's new signing, here's what Brewster had to say:

"It's great to have Sven in the team. He seems to have the right frame of mind and has shown that he is more than happy to work with Matt and score some decent points for the team. Hopefully working with someone who has been in the team for a while will get him up to speed quickly and help us to better our finishing position when compared to last season."

We approached Schubert and asked him a couple of questions about his new venture:

You're stepping into a new team for 2015, are you looking forward to it and what are your aims for the Supercup season?

"I'd first of all like to say thank you to Cameron for giving me the opportunity to drive for TSA Racing in Supercup. I'm glad to be in the team. This year I want to make sure I'm consistent and I'll be looking to gain valuable experience and hopefully some points finishes."

You'll be working alongside Matt Richards, someone who has been in the team before. Are you looking forward to working alongside the Welshman?

"I'm happy to have such a good teammate like Matt and I hope I can learn something from him and I look forward to working alongside him for the season ahead."

With the two race seats now filled for TSA, attention is now focused on their reserve and test role for this year. Brewster was asked if he had any idea who would be filling the void:

"We don't have anyone specifically lined up yet. I'll be keeping my eyes on the Formula Challenge results from Melbourne as well as the pre-season FC test and from there I'll be making more informed decisions and approaching people."
