2011 Formula Car Challenge presented by Goodyear championship-winning team World Speed Motorsports has announced that Michael Whelden will be joining their squad for the 2012 season. Whelden will be competing in the new FormulaSPEED2.0 class.
World Speed Motorsports, which has successfully captured the Formula Car Challenge title in the Pro Mazda class, will seek add to its resume in 2012 with a title charge in the modern FormulaSPEED2.0 car. With Whelden, a Jim Russell Racing Championship graduate behind the wheel, the Infineon Raceway-based squad will not only highlight the performance of the new class, but also go after top honors.
"Michael raced in the Jim Russell Racing Championship series back when the Formula Car Challenge used to compete on the same weekends," stated World Speed Motorsports Team Owner Telo Stewart. "He had a lot of success in the fastest group, and already knows some of our other drivers who are also Russell alumni. He is a great addition to our team, and we are looking forward to helping him reach his goals."
"Racing the new FormulaSpeed2.0 this season in the Formula Car Challenge is a great opportunity," stated Whelden. "World Speed Motorsports has a world class racing program and they have a lot to offer young drivers like me. I am honored to be a part of the World Speed Motorsports FS2.0 program. The FormulaSpeed2.0 is a great development car for drivers of all ages and sizes. The car's performance and safety make it the perfect platform to start racing open-wheel cars. The FormulaSpeed2.0 is a true driver's car and I can't wait for the season to start!"
World Speed Motorsports and Whelden have already begun testing in preparation for the 2012 Formula Car Challenge presented by Goodyear season-opener on March 10th-11th, at Infineon Raceway in northern California. |
