Dutch outfit forced to move on from successful Grech/Wicks pairing.

It is with great pleasure that I announce the drivers for the 2015 Formula Challenge season.

The Katana Motorsports Formula Challenge team had a good run last year with the help of Terence Grech and Mark Wicks. We are looking to continue and even improve this with the help of this years new drivers for the Katana Motorsports Formula Challenge team.

Announcing the first new driver of the Katana Motorsports Formula Challenge team, driving the #65 car: Justinas Ribelis

Justinas is a promising young driver; quiet and quick. It's always good to get fresh blood into the team and this year it's Justinas' turn to show what he's got.

Justinas: "I joined for this team to fight for better position. My plans for this years is be top ten."

As you can see, a man of few words. I'll let his actions on track speak for him. Now, the second driver for the Katana Motorsports Formula Challenge team, driving the #90 car, the one and only, never lonely: Olli Pelkonen!

Olli has established himself as a quick driver during last season, impressing in Supercup and even driving for Woods in Superleague. I am extremely happy I got Olli to join the team and I expect him to be scoring points regularly.

Olli: "In my debut season I achieved a lot more than i anticipated, including driving in all the Career Ladder series, scoring 55 points in 8 races of FC, scoring points in 2 of 5 SC races and getting to drive in SL also although with not too good results. In 2015 I'm confident I can reach top five in FC and will work hard to achieve this."

I wish my guys the best of luck. It will be a tough season, but I'm confident we can repeat, maybe even improve our results from last year. With Olli and Justinas on board, at the very least, we're gonna get a damn good shot at it.
