With the 2015 season getting closer, Measuric Racing finally reveals its new line-up for their second season in the Supercup series.

With Ari Nieminen and Mike Bell deciding to move back to the Formula Challenge, Measuric have been forced to make a new approach to Supercup with both new and familiar faces.

The #16 car will be driven by Christof Schgör. This young driver is known better over at FSR. After driving the last race of the 2014 season for Malta Force, Schgör and the team came to an agreement to run a complete Supercup season.

Next to Schgör, a more familiar face appears. Pedro Melim fills up the #55 car and after doing several races for SimInk and CSG in 2013, Melim is now ready to commit to a full season in the Supercup.

"I have been away from simracing for about a year, but I strongly believe that I can still push the car to the front," Melim clarifies. "We have dedicated people behind us that will do everything they can to help us achieve the best results possible. I feel that it will be hard to get good results as this year's Supercup field consists of many acknowledged drivers, but I firmly believe that with hard work and persistency results will appear and at the end we will emerge at the top.

It is going to be a tough season, but I am ready for it. Bring on Melbourne!!"


The reserve role will be played by Wopke Hoekstra. The Dutch driver is participating in Formula Challenge for Epic Racing and will help Schgör and Melim during practice sessions as well as being on stand-by to replace one of them when needed.

"I am very happy to get an opportunity to drive the Supercup cars. It will help me a lot as I try to move up in the career ladder." Wopke explained about his reserve role. "With this line-up we have a good chance to end up on the top side of the Teams' Championship."

Team Manager Mike Schroten believes "both drivers are eager to show what they got and are extremely motivated to do what it takes to obtain top five finishes."
